question: private boolean eval ( final int value , final int threshold ) { LOGGER . debug ( "eval: " + value + ", " + threshold ) ; if ( threshold < 0 ) { LOGGER . debug ( value < Math . abs ( threshold ) ) ; return value < Math . abs ( threshold ) ; } else { LOGGER . debug ( value >= Math . abs ( threshold ) ) ; return value >= threshold ; } }
target:  Evaluates the given value against the provided threshold.
