Constructor Detail

### TimeComparison

    public TimeComparison()

  Default constructor.

### TimeComparison

    public TimeComparison(java.lang.String value)

  Construct a new TimeComparison with the specified value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the EnumeratedAttribute value.

Method Detail

### getValues

    public java.lang.String[] getValues()

  Return the possible values.

  Specified by:
    `getValues` in class `EnumeratedAttribute`
  Returns:
    String[] of EnumeratedAttribute values.

### evaluate

    public boolean evaluate(long t1,
                            long t2)

  Evaluate two times against this TimeComparison.

  Parameters:
    `t1` - the first time to compare.
    `t2` - the second time to compare.
  Returns:
    true if the comparison result fell within the parameters of this TimeComparison.

### evaluate

    public boolean evaluate(long t1,
                            long t2,
                            long g)

  Evaluate two times against this TimeComparison.

  Parameters:
    `t1` - the first time to compare.
    `t2` - the second time to compare.
    `g` - the timestamp granularity.
  Returns:
    true if the comparison result fell within the parameters of this TimeComparison.

### compare

    public static int compare(long t1,
                              long t2)

  Compare two times.

  Parameters:
    `t1` - the first time to compare.
    `t2` - the second time to compare.
  Returns:
    a negative integer, a positive integer, or zero as t1 is before, after, or equal to t2 accounting for the default granularity.

### compare

    public static int compare(long t1,
                              long t2,
                              long g)
