This implementation uses the getMaximumNumber() method. Subclasses may be able to optimise this.

Returns:

the maximum number in this range

getMaximumFloat

public float getMaximumFloat()

Gets the maximum number in this range as a float.

This implementation uses the getMaximumNumber() method. Subclasses may be able to optimise this.

Returns:

the maximum number in this range

containsNumber

public abstract boolean containsNumber(Number number)

Tests whether the specified Number occurs within this range.

The exact comparison implementation varies by subclass. It is intended that an int specific subclass will compare using int comparison.

null is handled and returns false.

Parameters:

number - the number to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the Number cannot be compared

containsLong

public boolean containsLong(Number value)

Tests whether the specified Number occurs within this range using long comparison..

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation forwards to the containsLong(long) method.

Parameters:

value - the long to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by long comparison

containsLong

public boolean containsLong(long value)

Tests whether the specified long occurs within this range using long comparison.

This implementation uses the getMinimumLong() and getMaximumLong() methods and should be good for most uses.

Parameters:

value - the long to test

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by long comparison

containsInteger

public boolean containsInteger(Number value)

Tests whether the specified Number occurs within this range using int comparison..

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation forwards to the containsInteger(int) method.

Parameters:

value - the integer to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by int comparison

containsInteger

public boolean containsInteger(int value)

Tests whether the specified int occurs within this range using int comparison.

This implementation uses the getMinimumInteger() and getMaximumInteger() methods and should be good for most uses.

Parameters:

value - the int to test

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by int comparison

containsDouble

public boolean containsDouble(Number value)

Tests whether the specified Number occurs within this range using double comparison..

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation forwards to the containsDouble(double) method.

Parameters:

value - the double to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by double comparison

containsDouble

public boolean containsDouble(double value)

Tests whether the specified double occurs within this range using double comparison.

This implementation uses the getMinimumDouble() and getMaximumDouble() methods and should be good for most uses.

Parameters:

value - the double to test

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by double comparison

containsFloat

public boolean containsFloat(Number value)

Tests whether the specified Number occurs within this range using float comparison.

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation forwards to the containsFloat(float) method.

Parameters:

value - the float to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by float comparison

containsFloat

public boolean containsFloat(float value)

Tests whether the specified float occurs within this range using float comparison.

This implementation uses the getMinimumFloat() and getMaximumFloat() methods and should be good for most uses.

Parameters:

value - the float to test

Returns:

true if the specified number occurs within this range by float comparison

containsRange

public boolean containsRange(Range range)

Tests whether the specified range occurs entirely within this range.

The exact comparison implementation varies by subclass. It is intended that an int specific subclass will compare using int comparison.

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation uses the containsNumber(Number) method. Subclasses may be able to optimise this.

Parameters:

range - the range to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified range occurs entirely within this range; otherwise, false

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the Range cannot be compared

overlapsRange

public boolean overlapsRange(Range range)

Tests whether the specified range overlaps with this range.

The exact comparison implementation varies by subclass. It is intended that an int specific subclass will compare using int comparison.

null is handled and returns false.

This implementation uses the containsNumber(Number) and containsRange(Range) methods. Subclasses may be able to optimise this.

Parameters:

range - the range to test, may be null

Returns:

true if the specified range overlaps with this range; otherwise, false

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the Range cannot be compared

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this range to another object to test if they are equal.

.

To be equal, the class, minimum and maximum must be equal.
