Interface IntervalBreak<Interval_,Point_ extends Comparable<Point_>,Difference_ extends Comparable<Difference_>>

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 Details

    • 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
