Break (Timefold Solver examples 0.8.41 API)

Type Parameters:

Value_ - The type of value in the sequence

Difference_ - The type of difference between values in the sequence
```
public interface Break<Value_,Difference_ extends Comparable<Difference_>>
```
A Break is a gap between two consecutive values. For instance, the list [1,2,4,5,6,10] has a break of length 2 between 2 and 4, as well as a break of length 4 between 6 and 10.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Difference_`	`getLength()`	Return the length of the break, which is the difference between `getNextSequenceStart()` and `getPreviousSequenceEnd()`.
`Sequence<Value_,Difference_>`	`getNextSequence()`
`default Value_`	`getNextSequenceStart()`	Return the start of the sequence after this break.
`Sequence<Value_,Difference_>`	`getPreviousSequence()`
`default Value_`	`getPreviousSequenceEnd()`	Return the end of the sequence before this break.
`default boolean`	`isFirst()`
`default boolean`	`isLast()`

- Method Detail
  - getPreviousSequence
```
Sequence<Value_,Difference_> getPreviousSequence()
```
    Returns:
    
    never null, the sequence leading directly into this
  - getNextSequence
```
Sequence<Value_,Difference_> getNextSequence()
```
    Returns:
    
    never null, the sequence immediately following this
  - isFirst
```
default boolean isFirst()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if and only if this is the first break
  - isLast
```
default boolean isLast()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if and only if this is the last break
  - getPreviousSequenceEnd
```
default Value_ getPreviousSequenceEnd()
```
    Return the end of the sequence before this break. For the break between 6 and 10, this will return 6.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, the item this break is directly after
  - getNextSequenceStart
```
default Value_ getNextSequenceStart()
```
    Return the start of the sequence after this break. For the break between 6 and 10, this will return 10.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, the item this break is directly before
  - getLength
```
Difference_ getLength()
```
    Return the length of the break, which is the difference between getNextSequenceStart() and getPreviousSequenceEnd(). For the break between 6 and 10, this will return 4.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, the length of this break
