/**
* A utility for performing a chained comparison statement. For example:
*
* {@code
* public int compareTo(Foo that) {
* return ComparisonChain.start()
* .compare(this.aString, that.aString)
* .compare(this.anInt, that.anInt)
* .compare(this.anEnum, that.anEnum, Ordering.natural().nullsLast())
* .result();
* }
* }
*
* The value of this expression will have the same sign as the first nonzero comparison
* result in the chain, or will be zero if every comparison result was zero.
*
*
Note: {@code ComparisonChain} instances are immutable. For this utility to work
* correctly, calls must be chained as illustrated above.
*
*
Performance note: Even though the {@code ComparisonChain} caller always invokes its {@code
* compare} methods unconditionally, the {@code ComparisonChain} implementation stops calling its
* inputs' {@link Comparable#compareTo compareTo} and {@link Comparator#compare compare} methods as
* soon as one of them returns a nonzero result. This optimization is typically important only in
* the presence of expensive {@code compareTo} and {@code compare} implementations.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on {@code
* ComparisonChain}.
