Constructor Detail

DateRangeSet

public DateRangeSet(DateRange cs)

Constructs a new DateRangeSet with the initial set containing only the specified DateRange

Parameters:

cs - the initial DateRange

Method Detail

union

public void union(DateRange r)

Adds this specified range as a union to the existing set of ranges (for purposes of inRange(char) method). Overlapping ranges are ok.

Parameters:

cs - a DateRange to unite with

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified range was null

intersection

public void intersection(DateRange r)

Adds the specified range as an intersection to the existing ranges (for purposes of inRange(char) method). Overlapping ranges are ok.

Parameters:

r - the range to add

inRange

public boolean inRange(Date val)

Consider a set of ranges A, B added as a union (logical or) and ranges C and D added as an intersection (logical and). A character c is in range if it exists in:

(A.inRange(c) || B.inRange(c) || ...) && C.inRange(c) && D.inRange(c) && ...

This can be generalized to an arbitrary number of sub ranges. If intersection or union ranges don't exist, then they are not considered in the above expression. Note, the interaction may be subtle if any of the ranges (A, B, C...etc) are individually negated because in that case the inRange method for that negated range would return true if the specified character was not in that range.

Returns:

true if the passed in character is allowed by this set of ranges.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

main

public static void main(String[] args)
