title: Java - compareTo and operators
body: <p>If I have a class <code>Person</code> that implements <code>Comparable</code> (compares <code>personA.height</code> to <code>personB.height</code>, for example), is it possible to use </p>
  
  <pre><code>    personA &lt; personB
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as a substitute for </p>
  
  <pre><code>    personA.compareTo(personB) == -1? 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Are there any issues in doing this or do I need to overload operators? </p>
