public class AcceptLess<E extends java.lang.Comparable<? super E>>
extends PartialOrderAcceptLess<E>
implements BothFilter<E>

A partial order filter that accepts everything less than the provided value as determined by the Comparator provided to its methods by utilising classes.

This class implements both Filter and FilterPartialOrder; the Filter accept()method delegates to the object's compareTo() method, whereas the FilterPartialOrder methods utilise the provided comparator.
