Class LengthComparator

java.lang.Object

LengthComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<NewsStory>

public class LengthComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<NewsStory>

Project 2, CS 2334, Section 010, February 22, 2017

The LengthComparator compares the lengths of two news stories. Since different types of news stories may use different units to measure their lengths, we compare by converting the lengths to a common unit (words).

Note that the constructor has nothing to do, so it is omitted.
