public class GenericCompare
extends MasterComparer

Compares the two inputs. Specification This manipulator takes two inputs (leftside and rightside) which are compared to produce a LongValueObject result. The result is 1 if the inputs are equal, -1 if the leftside is less than the rightside and 1 if the rightside is greater. Inputs can be any ValueObject type. The comparison will be done numerically if they both convert to doubles, and by String otherwise.

Both inputs are required to produce an output. In other words, if only one input connector has changed (ever), no output value will be generated. An output is generated each time any input value is received.

The output is a LongValueObject. The output data quality will be the worse of the two input's quality. Properties of the two inputs will be combined in the value output. The inputs' Color values are ignored.
