请问compare的用法是怎样的？它到底比较的是什么？

例如：class CCircle
{
private static double pi=3.14;
private double radius;

public CCircle(double r){
radius=r;

}

public void compare(CCircle cir){
if(this.radius==cir.radius)
//return this;
System.out.println("objects are equal");
else
//return cir;
System.out.println("objects are not equal");
}
}
public class app7_4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
CCircle cir1=new CCircle(1.0);
CCircle cir2=new CCircle(1.0);
cir1.compare(cir2);
}
}

跟下面的代码有什么区别：
class CCircle
{
private static double pi=3.14;
private double radius;

public CCircle(double r){
radius=r;

}

public void compare(CCircle cir){
if(this==cir)
//return this;
System.out.println("objects are equal");
else
//return cir;
System.out.println("objects are not equal");
}
}
public class app7_4
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
CCircle cir1=new CCircle(1.0);
CCircle cir2=new CCircle(1.0);
cir1.compare(cir2);
}
}
请解释一下好吗？

compare想比较什么就比较什么,

上面的是自己定义的 compare
相关类库里面的 compare 就是看你想比较什么啦,想比较什么都可以哟!
