int
compare
(byte[] bytes1, byte[] bytes2)
Perform lexicographical comparison of two byte arrays,
regarding each byte as unsigned. That is, compare array entries
in order until they differ--the array with the smaller entry
is "smaller". If array entries are
equal till one array ends, then the longer array is "bigger".
Parameters
bytes1
| first byte array to compare. |
bytes2
| second byte array to compare. |
Returns
- negative number if bytes1 < bytes2, 0 if bytes1 == bytes2,
positive number if bytes1 > bytes2.
Throws
| if either argument is not a byte array.
