# compareTo method

1. @override

int compareTo(

1. Version other

)
override

Compares this object to another object.

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

    @override
    int compareTo(Version other) {
      if (major != other.major) return major - other.major;
      if (minor != other.minor) return minor - other.minor;
      return patch - other.patch;
    }
