public class ObjectRange
extends AbstractList
implements Range

Represents an inclusive list of objects from a value to a value using comparators.

This class is similar to IntRange. If you make any changes to this class, you might consider making parallel changes to IntRange.

Constructor Detail

ObjectRange

public ObjectRange(Comparable from,
                   Comparable to)

Creates a new ObjectRange. Creates a reversed range if from < to.

Parameters:

from - the first value in the range.

to - the last value in the range.

ObjectRange

public ObjectRange(Comparable from,
                   Comparable to,
                   boolean reverse)

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object that)

Specified by:

equals in interface Collection

Specified by:

equals in interface List

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractList

equals

public boolean equals(ObjectRange that)

Compares an ObjectRange to another ObjectRange.

Parameters:

that - the object to check equality with

Returns:

true if the ranges are equal

getFrom

public Comparable getFrom()

The lower value in the range.

Specified by:

getFrom in interface Range

Returns:

the lower value in the range.

getTo

public Comparable getTo()

The upper value in the range.

Specified by:

getTo in interface Range

Returns:

the upper value in the range

isReverse

public boolean isReverse()

Indicates whether this is a reverse range which iterates backwards starting from the to value and ending on the from value

Specified by:

isReverse in interface Range

Returns:

true if this is a reverse range

get

public Object get(int index)

Specified by:

get in interface List

Specified by:

get in class AbstractList

iterator in class AbstractList

containsWithinBounds

public boolean containsWithinBounds(Object value)

Checks whether a value is between the from and to values of a Range

Specified by:

containsWithinBounds in interface Range

Parameters:

value - the value of interest

true if the value is within the bounds

size

public int size()

Specified by:

size in interface Collection

Specified by:

size in interface List

step

public void step(int step,
                 Closure closure)

Steps through the range, calling a closure for each number.

Specified by:

step in interface Range
