compare objects like primitive types in java

Question

thinking of the way implementing the Iterable interface lets clients iterate over something in your class with a foreach loop, is there a way to allow object comparison by <, > == etc.? It seems almost obvious to let the Comparable interface allow for this, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't.

Answer 1

不幸的是，由于Java不支持运算符重载，因此无法执行此操作。

Answer 2

it is trivial to translate a<b to a.compareTo(b)<0

but there is no option for operator overloading

not to mention how would the nulls be handled
