DeltaNodeDetail

```
public interface DeltaNodeDetail
```
Carries additional detailed information about the results of a comparison such as:
- the Comparison.Method used to perform the comparison.
- in the case of Comparison.Method.AS_TEXT - the numbers of added, deleted and changed blocks of text.
The results of a folder comparison are DeltaNode-specific and often unique. For instance, when comparing by Comparison.Method.SIZE, Comparison.Method.DATE_MODIFIED and Comparison.Method.ATTRIBUTES the resources of a given DeltaNode can differ by size only; in that case the getMethod() will return Comparison.Method#SIZE. The resources of another DeltaNode can differ by size and date in which case getMethod() will return [ Comparison.Method#SIZE, Comparison.Method#DATE_MODIFIED ].

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`int`	`count(Delta.Kind[] kinds)` When the comparing text files using `Comparison.Method.AS_TEXT` this method counts the numbers of specified `Delta.Kind`-s and returns their sum.
`Comparison.Method[]`	`getMethod()` Returns an array containing one or more `Comparison.Method`-s that the comparison algorithm detected differences for.
`long`	`getTimeDelta()` Returns the time delta when comparing using `Comparison.Method.DATE_MODIFIED`.

- Method Detail
  - count
```
int count(Delta.Kind[] kinds)
```
    When the comparing text files using Comparison.Method.AS_TEXT this method counts the numbers of specified Delta.Kind-s and returns their sum. For example, if two files have 3 blocks of added text and 1 block of deleted text, calling count(Delta.Kind.ADDED) will return 3 and calling count(Delta.Kind.DELETED) will return 1. Calling count([Delta.Kind.ADDED, Delta.Kind.DELETED]) will return 4.
    When comparing binary files, the count() always returns 1.
    
    Parameters:
    kinds - an array of Delta.Kind-s. Cannot be null or empty.
    
    Returns:
    the count of type integer
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if kinds is null.
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if kinds is empty.
  - getMethod
```
Comparison.Method[] getMethod()
```
    Returns an array containing one or more Comparison.Method-s that the comparison algorithm detected differences for.
    For example, when comparing by Comparison.Method#SIZE, Comparison.Method#DATE_MODIFIED and Comparison.Method#ATTRIBUTES only timestamp differences were found, getMethod() would return Comparison.Method#DATE_MODIFIED
    
    Returns:
    always a valid array of 0 or more DiffMethod-s that produced differences.
  - getTimeDelta
```
long getTimeDelta()
```
    Returns the time delta when comparing using Comparison.Method.DATE_MODIFIED. This field is not used when comparing using other Comparison.Method-s.
    
    Returns:
    the time delta in milliseconds when using Comparison.Method#DATE_MODIFIED ; 0 otherwise.
