Java Integer compareUnsigned() Method

The compareUnsigned() is a method of Java Integer class which compares two integer objects numerically treating the values as unsigned. It returns the result of the value 0 if both arguments are equal; a value less than 0, if the first argument is less than the second argument; a value greater than 0 will be returned, if the first argument is less than the second argument. This method is specified by Comparable<Integer> Interface.

Note: This method cannot be compared to two different types of argument so, both the argument and the number should be the same type.

Syntax:

Following is the declaration of compareUnsigned() method:

Parameter:

Returns:

The compareUnsigned(int x, int y) method will returns the following values:

• 0 = The value 0 if x=y,
• -1 = The value less than 0 if x
• 1 = The value greater than 0 if x>y

Exceptions:

NA

Compatibility Version:
