Class ExclusiveRange

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.ExclusiveRange

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Integer>

@GwtCompatible
public class ExclusiveRange
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Integer>

A sequence of integers starting from start to end counting up or down. It excludes the end value when counting up and the start value when counting down. Examples:

new ExclusiveRange(1, 5, true)	(1,2,3,4)
new ExclusiveRange(0, 0, true)	()
new ExclusiveRange(0, -1, true)	()
new ExclusiveRange(-1, 0, true)	(-1)
new ExclusiveRange(5, 1, false)	(4,3,2,1)
new ExclusiveRange(0, 0, false)	()
new ExclusiveRange(-1, 0, false)	()
new ExclusiveRange(0, -1, false)	(-1)

As opposed to IntegerRange this class meets the requirements to iterate arrays or lists without the need for further guards, e.g.

 for(i: new ExclusiveRange(0, list.size, true)) 
   list.get(i)...
 
 for(i: new ExclusiveRange(array.length, 0, false)) 
   array.get(i)...
 
 for(i: new ExclusiveRange(0, string.indexOf('x'), true)
   string.charAt(i)...

Constructor Detail

ExclusiveRange

@Pure
public ExclusiveRange(int start,
                            int end,
                            boolean increment)

Constructs a new ExclusiveRange object.

Parameters:

start - the start value

end - the end value

increment - if true, the range goes from start up to end (exclusive) if false, the range goes from end down to start (exclusive)

Method Detail

iterator

@Pure
public java.util.ListIterator<java.lang.Integer> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Integer>

Returns:

a read-only ListIterator for this.

size

@Pure
public int size()

Returns the number of elements in this ExclusiveRange.

Returns:

the number of elements in this ExclusiveRange.

isEmpty

@Pure
public boolean isEmpty()

Returns whether this is range is empty.

Returns:

true if this range is empty.

contains

@Pure
public boolean contains(int number)

Checks whether this contains the given number, i.e. whether the iterator will yield the number. This is different from interval containment: 0..2.by(2) will not contain 1.

Parameters:

number - the number to be checked for containment.

Returns:

whether this sequence contains the given number or not.
