Implementing Comparable and producing a compareTo method

How do I create the compareTo method that always returns 1? I'm not sure what two things I am comparing in this case..

For this part of the course, the compareTo method signature expects an Object:

@Override
public int compareTo(Object obj) {
     // In the first step just return 1.  More instructions will follow.  obj will be passed in for you.
}

That help?
