public interface TimeInterval
extends Range<Date>

A range extension that represents a time interval.

Method Summary

boolean	after(TimeInterval other) Verifies if another time interval completely follows this.
boolean	before(TimeInterval other) Verifies if another time interval completely precedes this.
Duration	getDuration() Returns the duration of this time interval.
Day	getHighDay()
Day	getLowDay()
PhysicalDuration	getPhysicalDuration()
boolean	includes(Date d) Verifies that a time point is in this interval

Method Detail

getDuration

Duration getDuration()

Returns the duration of this time interval. This make sense only for a time interval that has both extremes, otherwise the duration is infinite.

Returns:

this time interval duration

Throws:

UnboundedRangeException - if this interval is not bounded

getPhysicalDuration

PhysicalDuration getPhysicalDuration()

includes

boolean includes(Date d)

Verifies that a time point is in this interval

Specified by:

includes in interface Range<Date>

Parameters:

d - the time point to be checked

Returns:

true if the parameter is inside this interval, false otherwise

before

boolean before(TimeInterval other)

Verifies if another time interval completely precedes this.

Parameters:

other - the time interval to be checked

Returns:

true if the passed time interval precedes this, otherwise false

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the parameter is null

after

boolean after(TimeInterval other)

Verifies if another time interval completely follows this.

Parameters:

other - the time interval to be checked

Returns:

true if the passed time interval follows this, otherwise flase

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the parameter is null

getLowDay

Day getLowDay()

getHighDay

Day getHighDay()
