Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isValid(E o1)`	Returns `true` if the `o1` can be used in this comparator.
`boolean`	`predecessor(E o1, E o2)`	Returns `true` if `o1` is an immediate predecessor of `o2`.
`boolean`	`successor(E o1, E o2)`	Returns `true` if `o1` is an immediate successor of `o2`.

  - predecessor
```
boolean predecessor(E o1,
                    E o2)
```
    Returns true if o1 is an immediate predecessor of o2.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o1 - a sequence element.
    
    o2 - a sequence element.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if its an immediate predecessor
  - successor
```
boolean successor(E o1,
                  E o2)
```
    Returns true if o1 is an immediate successor of o2.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o1 - a sequence element.
    
    o2 - a sequence element.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it's an immediate successor
  - isValid
```
boolean isValid(E o1)
```
    Returns true if the o1 can be used in this comparator.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o1 - a sequence element
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it's usable for this comparator
