```
public ValidatorCompare(CompareOperator comparator,
                        Supplier<V> valueSource)
```
    The constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - is the comparison operator used to compare the value to validate (first argument) with the value of the given valueSource.
    
    valueSource - is a reference to something that provides a value and will be evaluated dynamically on every validation.
  - ValidatorCompare
```
public ValidatorCompare(CompareOperator comparator,
                        V value)
```
    The constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - is the comparison operator used to compare the value to validate (first argument) with the value of the given value.
    
    value - is the fixed value to compare to.
- Method Detail
  - isDynamic
```
public boolean isDynamic()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractValidator
    
    This method determines if this Validator is dynamic. Here dynamic means that the validation of the same input may not always return the same validation result (e.g. it holds references to instances that have dynamic impact on the validation).
    
    Overrides:
    
    isDynamic in class AbstractValidator<V extends Comparable<V>>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this Validator is dynamic, false otherwise.
  - validateNotNull
```
protected NlsMessage validateNotNull(V value)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractValueValidator
    
    This method performs the validation in case value is NOT null. This method contains the actual custom logic for the validation. It is therefore designed in a way that makes it most simple to implement custom validators.
    
    Specified by:
    
    validateNotNull in class AbstractValueValidator<V extends Comparable<V>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to validate.
    
    Returns:
    
    the failure message or null if the the given value is valid.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class AbstractValidator<V extends Comparable<V>>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class AbstractValidator<V extends Comparable<V>>
