SpecDataPoint.CompareTo

Orders two data points by m/z. Intensity is ignored.


Remarks

Orders by Mz. This is the IComparable implementation, so Array.Sort and List.Sort put a set of points into m/z order without a comparer being supplied.

Points with equal Mz compare equal.


Syntax

SyntaxDescription
CompareTo(SpecDataPoint x)Orders data points by m/z alone. Two points at the same m/z compare as equal.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
xSpecDataPointThe data point to compare against.

Returns

TypeDescription
intNegative, zero or positive as this point’s m/z is less than, equal to or greater than x’s.

SpecDataPoint[] peaks =
{
  new SpecDataPoint(600.30, 2000.0),
  new SpecDataPoint(445.12, 10523.0),
  new SpecDataPoint(522.77, 850.0)
};

// IComparable orders by Mz, so no comparer is needed.
Array.Sort(peaks);
