Field Detail

COMPARATOR

static final java.util.Comparator<Scoreable> COMPARATOR

A Scoreable comparator that is used to order scoreables according to their score, in descending order.

Note: since a higher score results in a lower natural order, statements such as Collections.min(list, Scoreable.COMPARATOR) actually return the Scoreable with the highest score, in contrast to the natural meaning of the word "min".
