Java错误:"比较方法违反了其总合同!"

Question

我有这个代码:

package org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm;
import org.optimization.geneticAlgorithm.selection.Pair;

public abstract class Chromosome implements Comparable<Chromosome> {
    public abstract double fitness();
    public abstract Pair<Chromosome> crossover(Chromosome parent);
    public abstract void mutation();
    public int compareTo(Chromosome o) {
        int rv = 0;
        if (this.fitness() > o.fitness()) {
            rv = -1;
        } else if (this.fitness() < o.fitness()) {
            rv = 1;
        }
        return rv;
    }
}

每次我运行此代码时,我都会收到此错误:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract!

我使用OpenJDK7u3,当对象相等时我返回0.有人可以向我解释这个错误吗？

Answer 1

如果您有任何NaN值,您可能会遇到这种情况:

例如:

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double a = Double.NaN;
        double b = Double.NaN;
        double c = 5;

        System.out.println(a < b);
        System.out.println(a > b);
        System.out.println(b < c);
        System.out.println(c < b);
    }
}

所有这些打印false.所以你最终可能会遇到两个非NaN值都被认为与NaN"相等"的情况,但是一个比另一个更大.基本上,您应该弄清楚如何处理NaN值.还要检查那确实是问题,当然......你真的想要NaN值来适应你的身体吗？
