Class Interval.Builder

java.lang.Object

com.lodborg.intervaltree.Interval.Builder

Enclosing class:

Interval<T extends Comparable<? super T>>

public class Interval.Builder
extends Object

Used to create new intervals in an intuitive fashion by using the builder pattern. Since the implementation of the Interval class strives to avoid reflexion, despite being generic class, the Builder inner class is not static. Instead it is always tied to a particular object, so that it can build new objects from this specific runtime type.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Interval<T>	build() Builds the new interval
Interval.Builder	greater(T start) Sets the start point of the currently building interval to the given value.
Interval.Builder	greaterEqual(T start) Sets the start point of the currently building interval to the given value.
Interval.Builder	less(T end) Sets the end point of the currently building interval to the given value.
Interval.Builder	lessEqual(T end) Sets the end point of the currently building interval to the given value.

Method Detail

greater

public Interval.Builder greater(T start)

Sets the start point of the currently building interval to the given value. The interval will be open to the left. If this method is called more than once or in conjunction with the greaterEqual(Comparable) method, only the last call in the subsequence will take effect.

Parameters:

start - The value for the start point of the new interval.

greaterEqual

public Interval.Builder greaterEqual(T start)

Sets the start point of the currently building interval to the given value. The interval will be closed to the left. If this method is called more than once or in conjunction with the greater(Comparable) method, only the last call in the subsequence will take effect.

Parameters:

start - The value for the start point of the new interval.

less

public Interval.Builder less(T end)

Sets the end point of the currently building interval to the given value. The interval will be open to the right. If this method is called more than once or in conjunction with the lessEqual(Comparable) method, only the last call in the subsequence will take effect.

Parameters:

end - The value for the end point of the new interval.

lessEqual

public Interval.Builder lessEqual(T end)

Sets the end point of the currently building interval to the given value. The interval will be closed to the right. If this method is called more than once or in conjunction with the lessEqual(Comparable) method, only the last call in the subsequence will take effect.

Parameters:

end - The value for the end point of the new interval.

build

public Interval<T> build()

Builds the new interval

Returns:

The newly created interval.
