Part I: Comparison Function

Java based program that given two actions and a principle, return True if the first action is preferable, according to the principle, to the second action, else return False.

Algorithm

Input:

Output: True/False

Process:

Test Data

Case 1

Exchanging the order of the actions should result in True.

Run

PosCase = (2 2 -1) - (-2 -2 2) = (4 4 -3)

NegCase = (-2 -2 2) - (2 2 -1) = (-4 -4 3)

PosCase not greater than or equal to any list of Principle because of the -3

and NegCase is greater than or equal to third list of Principle

Therefore the condition specified in step number 4 is satisfied and the function should return False

If the actions are reversed so are the cases:

PosCase = (-4 -4 3)

NegCase = (4 4 -3)

and the PosCase is greater than or equal to the third list of Principle

while the NegCase is not greater than or equal to any list of the Principle

so the condition specified in step 2 is satisfied and the function should return True

Case 2
