compareTo method

@override int compareTo(Quantity<AngularVelocityUnit> other)

Compares this quantity to another Quantity of the same type (T).

This method must be implemented by concrete subclasses. The comparison is based on the physical magnitude of the quantities. To achieve this, one quantity (or both) might need to be converted to a common unit before their numerical values are compared. A common strategy is to convert this.value to other.unit using getValue(other.unit) and then compare the result with other.value.

Returns:

• A negative integer if this quantity is less than other.
• Zero if this quantity is equal in magnitude to other.
• A positive integer if this quantity is greater than other.

This method is essential for sorting collections of Quantity objects.

Implementation

@override
int compareTo(Quantity<AngularVelocityUnit> other) {
  final thisValueInOtherUnit = getValue(other.unit);
  return thisValueInOtherUnit.compareTo(other.value);
}
