Class NumberRange

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractList<Comparable>
groovy.lang.NumberRange
All Implemented Interfaces:
Range<Comparable>, Iterable<Comparable>, Collection<Comparable>, List<Comparable>, SequencedCollection<Comparable>
public class NumberRange extends AbstractList<Comparable> implements Range<Comparable>
Represents an immutable list of Numbers from a value to a value with a particular step size. In general, it isn't recommended using a NumberRange as a key to a map. The range 0..3 is deemed to be equal to 0.0..3.0 but they have different hashCode values, so storing a value using one of these ranges couldn't be retrieved using the other.
Since:
2.5.0

    • NumberRange

      public <T extends Number & Comparable, U extends Number & Comparable> NumberRange(T from, U to)
      Creates an inclusive NumberRange with step size 1. Creates a reversed range if from < to.
      Parameters:

      to - the last value in the range

    • NumberRange

      public <T extends Number & Comparable, U extends Number & Comparable> NumberRange(T from, U to, boolean inclusive)
      Creates a new NumberRange with step size 1. Creates a reversed range if from < to.
      Parameters:
      from - start of the range
      to - end of the range
      inclusive - whether the range is inclusive

  • Method Details

    • subListBorders

      public RangeInfo subListBorders(int size)
      A method for determining from and to information when using this IntRange to index an aggregate object of the specified size. Normally only used internally within Groovy but useful if adding range indexing support for your own aggregates.
      Parameters:
      size - the size of the aggregate being indexed
      Returns:
      the calculated range information (with 1 added to the to value, ready for providing to subList

    • by

      public <T extends Number & Comparable> NumberRange by(T stepSize)
      For a NumberRange with step size 1, creates a new NumberRange with the same from and to as this NumberRange but with a step size of stepSize.
      Parameters:
      stepSize - the desired step size
      Returns:
      a new NumberRange

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object that)
      An object is deemed equal to this NumberRange if it represents a List of items and those items equal the list of discrete items represented by this NumberRange.
      Specified by:
      equals in interface Collection<Comparable>
      Specified by:
      equals in interface List<Comparable>
      Overrides:
      equals in class AbstractList<Comparable>
      Parameters:
      that - the object to be compared for equality with this NumberRange
      Returns:
      true if the specified object is equal to this NumberRange
      See Also:

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      A NumberRange's hashCode is based on hashCode values of the discrete items it represents.
      Specified by:
      hashCode in interface Collection<Comparable>
      Specified by:
      hashCode in interface List<Comparable>
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class AbstractList<Comparable>
      Returns:
      the hashCode value

    • fastEquals

      public boolean fastEquals(NumberRange that)
      Compares a NumberRange to another NumberRange using only a strict comparison of the NumberRange properties. This won't return true for some ranges which represent the same discrete items, use equals instead for that but will be much faster for large lists.
      Parameters:
      that - the NumberRange to check equality with
      Returns:
      true if the ranges are equal
