Interface Bounds<T extends Comparable<T>>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of Bounds

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface Bounds<T extends Comparable<T>>
extends Serializable

Describes a pair of lower and upper bounds for a Comparable value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static <T extends Comparable<T>> Bounds<T>	create(T lowerBound, T upperBound)	Create a Bounds with the given lower and upper limits.
T	getLowerBound()
T	getUpperBound()
default T	restrict(T value)	Restrict the given value within these Bounds.

Method Details

getLowerBound

T getLowerBound()

Returns:

the lower limit of these Bounds

getUpperBound

T getUpperBound()

Returns:

the upper limit of these Bounds

restrict

default T restrict(T value)

Restrict the given value within these Bounds. If the value is lower, it is replaced by getLowerBound(). If the value is higher, it is replaced by getUpperBound(). Otherwise it is returned as provided.

Parameters:

value - the value to restrict

Returns:

the value or one of the limits

create

static <T extends Comparable<T>> Bounds<T> create(T lowerBound,
 T upperBound)

Create a Bounds with the given lower and upper limits.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of Bounds

Parameters:

lowerBound - the lowest limit

upperBound - the highest limit

Returns:

a Bounds with the given limits
