compareTo method

@override int compareTo(Quantity<LengthUnit> other)

Compares this Length object to another Quantity<LengthUnit>.

Comparison is based on the physical magnitude of the lengths. For comparison, this length is converted to the unit of the other length.

Returns:

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

Implementation

@override
int compareTo(Quantity<LengthUnit> other) {
  // Convert this quantity's value to the unit of the 'other' quantity
  // for a direct numerical comparison.
  final thisValueInOtherUnit = getValue(other.unit);
  return thisValueInOtherUnit.compareTo(other.value);
}
