      oracle.dacf.util.BiDirBubbleSort

All Implemented Interfaces:

Sortter

public class BiDirBubbleSort

extends AbstractSort

This class implements a generic verison of a bidirectional BubbleSort. You will need to define a comparison method using the Compare interface and set the comparer before calling sort. If this is not done, then an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. A default swapper is implemented so that it is not necessary to define an instance of the Swapper interface.
