      This compares in class-major and value-minor order.
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable<Constant>

    • compareTo0

      protected abstract int compareTo0(Constant other)
      Compare the values of this and another instance, which are guaranteed to be of the same class. Subclasses must implement this.
