public AbstractRangeLocation()

Method Detail

blockIterator

public Iterator blockIterator()

Description copied from interface: Location

Return an Iterator over the set of maximal contiguous sub-locations.

Given any location, it can be considered to contain zero or more maximal contiguous blocks of width 1 or greater. The empty location is composed from nothing. A contiguous location is composed from itself. A non-contiguous location is composed from contiguous blocks seperated by gaps.

This method should return an Iterator over these maximally contiguous blocks starting with the left-most block, and finishing at the right-most block.

Returns:

an Iterator over Location objects that are the maximally contiguous set of locations contained within this location

isContiguous

public boolean isContiguous()

Description copied from interface: Location

Determine if a Location is contiguous.

Returns:

true if and only if this Location contains every point from min to max inclusive.

symbols

public SymbolList symbols(SymbolList seq)

Description copied from interface: Location

Return the symbols in a sequence that fall within this range.

Parameters:

seq - the SymbolList to process

Returns:

the SymbolList containing the symbols in seq in this range

contains

public boolean contains(int p)

Description copied from interface: Location

Checks if this location contains a point.

Parameters:

p - the point to check

Returns:

true if this contains p, otherwise false
