other - the key to compare this key to.
Returns:
true if this key is greater than the other key
o lessThan 
  public abstract boolean lessThan(Object other)
Determines if this key is less than the other key. For example, to compare keys that are subclasses of Integer: 
    return (intValue() < ((Integer)other).intValue());
Parameters:
other - the key to compare this key to.
Returns:
true if this key is less than the other key
o equalTo
