I have two JodaTime objects and I wanted a method like so
// Return the latest of the two DateTimes
DateTime latest(DateTime a, DateTime b)
But I can't find such a thing. I could easily write it, but I'm sure JodaTime would have it somewhere.
As Jack pointed out, DateTime
implements Comparable
. If you are using Guava, the maximum of two dates (let's say a
and b
) can be determined by the following shorthand:
Ordering.natural().max(a, b);
DateTime
implements Comparable
so you don't need to roll you own other than doing:
DateTime latest(DateTime a, DateTime b)
{
return a.compareTo(b) > 0 ? a : b;
}
or by using JodaTime API directly (which takes into account Chronology
unlike compareTo
):
DateTime latest(DateTime a, DateTime b)
{
return a.isAfter(b) ? a : b;
}
