      • contains

        public abstract boolean contains​(XSType type)
        Return true if this TypeSet contains the specified type. Concrete implementations of this method determine what it means for the TypeSet to "contain" a type.
        Parameters:
        type - the type
        Returns:
        true iff this TypeSet contains the specified type
      • intersection

        public static TypeSet intersection​(TypeSet a,
                                           TypeSet b)
        Calculate the TypeSet formed by the intersection of two other TypeSet objects.
        Parameters:
        a - a TypeSet
        b - another TypeSet
        Returns:
        the intersection of a and b
      • union

        public static TypeSet union​(TypeSet a,
                                    TypeSet b)
        Calculate the TypeSet formed by the union of two other TypeSet objects.
        Parameters:
        a - a TypeSet
        b - another TypeSet
        Returns:
        the union of a and b
