Class GenericInterval<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.orekit.utils.GenericInterval<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the nature of ending points.
It is HIGHLY recommended this class be immutable!

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ComparableInterval

public class GenericInterval<T>
extends Object
implements Serializable

- Generic class to describe an interval.

- The generic element is the nature of the data defining the upper and lower boundaries.

- This class can be extended ; toString may be overriden.

Since:

3.0

Use sample :

An interval of Doubles ] 1.0 ; 2.0 [ is created this way :

Interval interval = new Interval(IntervalEndpointType.OPEN, 1.0, 2.0, IntervalEndpointType.OPEN);

Concurrency :

matches the concurrency of the parameter type : using an immutable type is HIGHLY recommended

Constructor Summary

GenericInterval(IntervalEndpointType lowerEndpointIn, T lowerDataIn, T upperDataIn, IntervalEndpointType upperEndpointIn)
Constructor.
The input parameters have to be not null.
Otherwise a MathIllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Method Summary

T	getLowerData()
IntervalEndpointType	getLowerEndpoint()
T	getUpperData()
IntervalEndpointType	getUpperEndpoint()
String	toString() This method returns a String representing the interval, with boundaries as brackets and the lower/upper values. Example : "] 0.0 , 1.2534 [" for an open interval with doubles. toString is called on the values. Warning : this representation is subject to change. This method may be overriden if convenient.

GenericInterval

public GenericInterval(IntervalEndpointType lowerEndpointIn,
                       T lowerDataIn,

                       IntervalEndpointType upperEndpointIn)

Constructor.
The input parameters have to be not null.
Otherwise a MathIllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Parameters:

lowerDataIn - lower end data value

upperDataIn - upper end data value

lowerEndpointIn - lower end point state

upperEndpointIn - upper end point state

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - when the interval is invalid (unchecked exception)
