# compareTo method

int compareTo (T other)

Compares this object to another Comparable

Returns a value like a Comparator when comparing `this` to `other`. That is, it returns a negative integer if `this` is ordered before `other`, a positive integer if `this` is ordered after `other`, and zero if `this` and `other` are ordered together.

The `other` argument must be a value that is comparable to this object.

## Implementation

    int compareTo(T other);
