Should you always use Double.compare( double d1, double d2 ) for >= and <=?

[stchman]

Hello all.

I was looking over the API and reading some documentation. There is a compelling case to when trying to do a direct comparison ( == ) for one double to be equal to another double.

I was wanting to know if this is really necessary when using <, <=, >, or >= operators?

Thanks.

Primitve types (such a double with a lower case 'd') can (and must) be compared with the operators <, <=, >, >=, == and !=. It's only the class types (such as Double etc.) that need to be compared using a method such as the compareTo( ... ) method.

kind regards,

Jos

The Double.compare( double d1, double d2 ) take primitive arguments?

compare(...) is not compareTo(...)

Carefully read the API documentation for the Double class.
