Class SynapseComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.encog.neural.networks.structure.SynapseComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Synapse>

public class SynapseComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Synapse>

Used to compare the order of synapses. Allows synapses to be sorted the same way each time. They are sorted from output back to input.

Constructor Summary

SynapseComparator(NeuralStructure structure)

Parameters:

structure - The structure of the network to use.

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(Synapse synapse1,
                   Synapse synapse2)

Compare two layers.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Synapse>

Parameters:

synapse1 - The first layer to compare.

synapse2 - The second layer to compare.

Returns:

The value 0 if the argument layer is equal to this synapse; a value less than 0 if this synapse is less than the argument; and a value greater than 0 if this synapse is greater than the synapse argument.
