IntervalBreak (Timefold Solver examples 0.8.41 API)

Type Parameters:

Interval_ - The type of value in the sequence

Difference_ - The type of difference between values in the sequence
```
public interface IntervalBreak<Interval_,Point_ extends Comparable<Point_>,Difference_ extends Comparable<Difference_>>
```
An IntervalBreak is a gap between two consecutive interval clusters. For instance, the list [(1,3),(2,4),(3,5),(7,8)] has a break of length 2 between 5 and 7.

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 `getNextIntervalClusterStart()` and `getPreviousIntervalClusterEnd()`.
`IntervalCluster<Interval_,Point_,Difference_>`	`getNextIntervalCluster()`
`default Point_`	`getNextIntervalClusterStart()`	Return the start of the sequence after this break.
`IntervalCluster<Interval_,Point_,Difference_>`	`getPreviousIntervalCluster()`
`default Point_`	`getPreviousIntervalClusterEnd()`	Return the end of the sequence before this break.

- Method Detail
  - getPreviousIntervalCluster
```
IntervalCluster<Interval_,Point_,Difference_> getPreviousIntervalCluster()
```
    Returns:
    
    never null, the interval cluster leading directly into this
  - getNextIntervalCluster
```
IntervalCluster<Interval_,Point_,Difference_> getNextIntervalCluster()
```
    Returns:
    
    never null, the interval cluster immediately following this
  - getPreviousIntervalClusterEnd
```
default Point_ getPreviousIntervalClusterEnd()
```
    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
  - getNextIntervalClusterStart
```
default Point_ getNextIntervalClusterStart()
```
    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 getNextIntervalClusterStart() and getPreviousIntervalClusterEnd(). For the break between 6 and 10, this will return 4.
    
    Returns:
    
    never null, the length of this break
