interface Range
extends List

A Range represents the list of all items obtained by starting from a from value and calling next() successively until you reach the to value. For a reverse range, the list is obtained by starting at the to value and successively calling previous() until the from value is reached.

Method Summary
boolean containsWithinBounds(Object o)

Indicates whether an object is greater than or equal to the from value for the range and less than or equal to the to value.

Comparable getFrom()

The lower value in the range.

Comparable getTo()

The upper value in the range.

String inspect()

to create the {

boolean isReverse()

Indicates whether this is a reverse range which iterates backwards starting from the to value and ending on the from value

void step(int step, Closure closure)

Steps through the range, calling a closure for each number.

List step(int step)

Forms a list by stepping through the range by the indicated interval.

Method Detail

containsWithinBounds

public boolean containsWithinBounds(Object o)
Indicates whether an object is greater than or equal to the from value for the range and less than or equal to the to value.
param:
o the object to check against the boundaries of the range
return:
true if the object is between the from and to values

getFrom

public Comparable getFrom()
The lower value in the range.
return:
the lower value in the range.

getTo

public Comparable getTo()
The upper value in the range.
return:
the upper value in the range

inspect

public String inspect()
return:
the verbose String representation of this Range as would be typed into a console to create the Range instance

isReverse

public boolean isReverse()
Indicates whether this is a reverse range which iterates backwards starting from the to value and ending on the from value
return:
true if this is a reverse range

step

public void step(int step, Closure closure)
Steps through the range, calling a closure for each number.
param:
step the amount by which to step. If negative, steps through the range backwards.
param:
closure the Closure to call

step

public List step(int step)
Forms a list by stepping through the range by the indicated interval.
param:
step the amount by which to step. If negative, steps through the range backwards.
return:
the list formed by stepping through the range by the indicated interval.
