Package org.apache.sysds.lops.compile

## Class LopComparator<N extends Lop>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.sysds.lops.compile.LopComparator<N>

- Type Parameters:
    `N` - class extending Lop
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Comparator<N>`

      public class LopComparator<N extends Lop>
      extends Object
      implements Comparator<N>

  Comparator class used in sorting the LopDAG in topological order. Refer to doTopologicalSort_strict_order() in dml/lops/compile/Dag.java Topological sort guarantees the following: 1) All lops with level i appear before any lop with level greater than i (source nodes are at level 0) 2) Within a given level, nodes are ordered by their ID i.e., by the other in which they are created compare() method is designed to respect the above two requirements.
