# Class FloatComparator

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.search.FieldComparator<Float>
org.apache.lucene.search.comparators.NumericComparator<Float>
org.apache.lucene.search.comparators.FloatComparator

public class FloatComparator extends NumericComparator<Float>
Comparator based on `Float.compare(float, float)` for `numHits`. This comparator provides a skipping functionality – an iterator that can skip over non-competitive documents.

  - ### compare

    public int compare(int slot1, int slot2)
    Description copied from class: `FieldComparator`
    Compare hit at slot1 with hit at slot2.
    Specified by:
      `compare` in class `FieldComparator<Float>`
    Parameters:
      `slot1` - first slot to compare
      `slot2` - second slot to compare
    Returns:
      any `N < 0` if slot2's value is sorted after slot1, any `N > 0` if the slot2's value is sorted before slot1 and `0` if they are equal

  - ### setTopValue

    public void setTopValue(Float value)
    Description copied from class: `FieldComparator`
    Record the top value, for future calls to `LeafFieldComparator.compareTop(int)`. This is only called for searches that use searchAfter (deep paging), and is called before any calls to `FieldComparator.getLeafComparator(LeafReaderContext)`.
    Overrides:
      `setTopValue` in class `NumericComparator<Float>`

  - ### value

    public Float value(int slot)
    Description copied from class: `FieldComparator`
    Return the actual value in the slot.
    Specified by:
      `value` in class `FieldComparator<Float>`
    Parameters:
      `slot` - the value
    Returns:
      value in this slot

  - ### missingValueAsComparableLong

    protected long missingValueAsComparableLong()
    Specified by:
      `missingValueAsComparableLong` in class `NumericComparator<Float>`

  - ### sortableBytesToLong

    protected long sortableBytesToLong(byte[] bytes)
    Description copied from class: `NumericComparator`
    Decode sortable bytes to long. It should be consistent with the codec that `PointValues` of this field is using.
    Specified by:
      `sortableBytesToLong` in class `NumericComparator<Float>`

  - ### getLeafComparator

    public LeafFieldComparator getLeafComparator(LeafReaderContext context) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `FieldComparator`
    Get a per-segment `LeafFieldComparator` to collect the given `LeafReaderContext`. All docIDs supplied to this `LeafFieldComparator` are relative to the current reader (you must add docBase if you need to map it to a top-level docID).
    Specified by:
      `getLeafComparator` in class `FieldComparator<Float>`
    Parameters:
      `context` - current reader context
    Returns:
      the comparator to use for this segment
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error
