Description
Summary
The word 'less' is missing in the method-level javadoc of java.util.Arrays.compare(compare(T[] a, T[] b).
Problem
The current version of this javadoc is erroneous:
* A {@code null} array element is considered lexicographically than a
* non-{@code null} array element. Two {@code null} array elements are
* considered equal. Solution
Change to:
* A {@code null} array element is considered lexicographically less than a
* non-{@code null} array element. Two {@code null} array elements are
* considered equal. Specification
