question: public int compareTo ( CharBuffer otherBuffer ) { int compareRemaining = ( remaining ( ) < otherBuffer . remaining ( ) ) ? remaining ( ) : otherBuffer . remaining ( ) ; int thisPos = position ; int otherPos = otherBuffer . position ; char thisByte , otherByte ; while ( compareRemaining > 0 ) { thisByte = get ( thisPos ) ; otherByte = otherBuffer . get ( otherPos ) ; if ( thisByte != otherByte ) { return thisByte < otherByte ? - 1 : 1 ; } thisPos ++ ; otherPos ++ ; compareRemaining -- ; } return remaining ( ) - otherBuffer . remaining ( ) ; }
target:  Compare the remaining chars of this buffer to another char buffer's remaining chars.
