Orderings for Doubles.

Orderings for Doubles.

The behavior of the comparison operations provided by the default (implicit) ordering on Double changed in 2.10.0 and 2.13.0. Prior to Scala 2.10.0, the Ordering instance used semantics consistent with java.lang.Double.compare.

Scala 2.10.0 changed the implementation of lt, equiv, min, etc., to be IEEE 754 compliant, while keeping the compare method NOT compliant, creating an internally inconsistent instance. IEEE 754 specifies that 0.0 == -0.0. In addition, it requires all comparisons with Double.NaN return false thus 0.0 < Double.NaN, 0.0 > Double.NaN, and Double.NaN == Double.NaN all yield false, analogous None in flatMap.

Recognizing the limitation of the IEEE 754 semantics in terms of ordering, Scala 2.13.0 created two instances: Ordering.Double.IeeeOrdering, which retains the IEEE 754 semantics from Scala 2.12.x, and Ordering.Double.TotalOrdering, which brings back the java.lang.Double.compare semantics for all operations. The default extends TotalOrdering.

List(0.0, 1.0, 0.0 / 0.0, -1.0 / 0.0).sorted      // List(-Infinity, 0.0, 1.0, NaN)
List(0.0, 1.0, 0.0 / 0.0, -1.0 / 0.0).min         // -Infinity
implicitly[Ordering[Double]].lt(0.0, 0.0 / 0.0)   // true

Orderings for Floats.

Orderings for Floats.

The behavior of the comparison operations provided by the default (implicit) ordering on Float changed in 2.10.0 and 2.13.0. Prior to Scala 2.10.0, the Ordering instance used semantics consistent with java.lang.Float.compare.

Scala 2.10.0 changed the implementation of lt, equiv, min, etc., to be IEEE 754 compliant, while keeping the compare method NOT compliant, creating an internally inconsistent instance. IEEE 754 specifies that 0.0F == -0.0F. In addition, it requires all comparisons with Float.NaN return false thus 0.0F < Float.NaN, 0.0F > Float.NaN, and Float.NaN == Float.NaN all yield false, analogous None in flatMap.

Recognizing the limitation of the IEEE 754 semantics in terms of ordering, Scala 2.13.0 created two instances: Ordering.Float.IeeeOrdering, which retains the IEEE 754 semantics from Scala 2.12.x, and Ordering.Float.TotalOrdering, which brings back the java.lang.Float.compare semantics for all operations.

Concrete methods

def apply[T](implicit ord: Ordering[T]): Ordering[T]
def by[T, S](f: T => S)(implicit ord: Ordering[S]): Ordering[T]

Given f, a function from T into S, creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function is equivalent to:

Given f, a function from T into S, creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function is equivalent to:

def compare(x:T, y:T) = Ordering[S].compare(f(x), f(y))

This function is an analogue to Ordering.on where the Ordering[S] parameter is passed implicitly.

Deprecated implicits

implicit def Iterable[T](implicit ord: Ordering[T]): Ordering[Iterable[T]]
Deprecated
[Since version 2.13.0]

Iterables are not guaranteed to have a consistent order, so the Ordering returned by this method may not be stable or meaningful. If you are using a type with a consistent order (such as Seq), use its Ordering (found in the Implicits object) instead.

Inherited implicits

implicit def comparatorToOrdering[A](implicit cmp: Comparator[A]): Ordering[A]
implicit def ordered[A](implicit asComparable: () => A): Ordering[A]

This would conflict with all the nice implicit Orderings available, but thanks to the magic of prioritized implicits via subclassing we can make Ordered[A] => Ordering[A] only turn up if nothing else works.

This would conflict with all the nice implicit Orderings available, but thanks to the magic of prioritized implicits via subclassing we can make Ordered[A] => Ordering[A] only turn up if nothing else works. Since Ordered[A] extends Comparable[A] anyway, we can throw in some Java interop too.
