fastutil extends the Java Collections Framework by providing type-specific maps, sets, lists, and queues with a small memory footprint and fast access and insertion; it provides also big (64-bit) arrays, sets and lists, sorting algorithms, fast, practical I/O classes for binary and text files, and facilities for memory mapping large files. Note that if you have both this jar and fastutil-core.jar in your dependencies, fastutil-core.jar should be excluded.

There is a newer version: 8.5.13

/**
 * A pair of sorted elements.
 *
 * 
 * This interface strengthen {@link Pair}, without adding methods. It assumes that both elements of
 * the pair are of the same type, and that they are primitive or comparable. It guarantees that the
 * {@linkplain #left() left element} is smaller than or equal to the {@linkplain #right() right
 * element}.
 *
 * 

 * Implementations of this class can be used to represent unordered pairs by
 * canonicalization. Note that, in particular, if you build a sorted pair using a left and right
 * element in the wrong order they will be exchanged. To support this usage, this interface provides
 * a {@link #contains(Object)} method that can be used to check whether a given object is equal to
 * either element of the sorted pair.
 *
 * @param  the type of the elements.
