All Known Implementing Classes:: ImmutableRangeSet, TreeRangeSet

@Beta
public interface RangeSet<C extends java.lang.Comparable>

A set comprising zero or more nonempty, disconnected ranges of type C.

Implementations that choose to support the add(Range) operation are required to ignore empty ranges and coalesce connected ranges. For example:

    

   RangeSet<Integer> rangeSet = TreeRangeSet.create();
   rangeSet.add(Range.closed(1, 10)); // {[1, 10]}
   rangeSet.add(Range.closedOpen(11, 15)); // disconnected range; {[1, 10], [11, 15)}
   rangeSet.add(Range.closedOpen(15, 20)); // connected range; {[1, 10], [11, 20)}
   rangeSet.add(Range.openClosed(0, 0)); // empty range; {[1, 10], [11, 20)}
   rangeSet.remove(Range.open(5, 10)); // splits [1, 10]; {[1, 5], [10, 10], [11, 20)}

Note that the behavior of Range.isEmpty() and Range.isConnected(Range) may not be as expected on discrete ranges. See the Javadoc of those methods for details.

For a Set whose contents are specified by a Range, see ContiguousSet.

- Method Detail
  - contains
```
boolean contains(C value)
```
    Determines whether any of this range set's member ranges contains value.
  - rangeContaining
```
Range<C> rangeContaining(C value)
```
    Returns the unique range from this range set that contains value, or null if this range set does not contain value.
  - encloses
```
boolean encloses(Range<C> otherRange)
```
    Returns true if there exists a member range in this range set which encloses the specified range.
  - enclosesAll
```
boolean enclosesAll(RangeSet<C> other)
```
    Returns true if for each member range in other there exists a member range in this range set which encloses it. It follows that this.contains(value) whenever other.contains(value). Returns true if other is empty.
    This is equivalent to checking if this range set encloses(com.google.common.collect.Range<C>) each of the ranges in other.
  - isEmpty
```
boolean isEmpty()
```
    Returns true if this range set contains no ranges.
  - span
```
Range<C> span()
```
    Returns the minimal range which encloses all ranges in this range set.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.util.NoSuchElementException - if this range set is empty
  - asRanges
```
java.util.Set<Range<C>> asRanges()
```
    Returns a view of the disconnected ranges that make up this range set. The returned set may be empty. The iterators returned by its Iterable.iterator() method return the ranges in increasing order of lower bound (equivalently, of upper bound).
  - complement
```
RangeSet<C> complement()
```
    Returns a view of the complement of this RangeSet.
    The returned view supports the add(com.google.common.collect.Range<C>) operation if this RangeSet supports remove(com.google.common.collect.Range<C>), and vice versa.
  - subRangeSet
```
RangeSet<C> subRangeSet(Range<C> view)
```
    Returns a view of the intersection of this RangeSet with the specified range.
    The returned view supports all optional operations supported by this RangeSet, with the caveat that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown on an attempt to add any range not enclosed by view.
  - add
```
void add(Range<C> range)
```
    Adds the specified range to this RangeSet (optional operation). That is, for equal range sets a and b, the result of a.add(range) is that a will be the minimal range set for which both a.enclosesAll(b) and a.encloses(range).
    Note that range will be coalesced with any ranges in the range set that are connected with it. Moreover, if range is empty, this is a no-op.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this range set does not support the add operation
  - remove
```
void remove(Range<C> range)
```
    Removes the specified range from this RangeSet (optional operation). After this operation, if range.contains(c), this.contains(c) will return false.
    If range is empty, this is a no-op.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this range set does not support the remove operation
  - clear
```
void clear()
```
    Removes all ranges from this RangeSet (optional operation). After this operation, this.contains(c) will return false for all c.
    This is equivalent to remove(Range.all()).
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this range set does not support the clear operation
  - addAll
```
void addAll(RangeSet<C> other)
```
    Adds all of the ranges from the specified range set to this range set (optional operation). After this operation, this range set is the minimal range set that encloses both the original range set and other.
    This is equivalent to calling add(com.google.common.collect.Range<C>) on each of the ranges in other in turn.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this range set does not support the addAll operation
  - removeAll
```
void removeAll(RangeSet<C> other)
```
    Removes all of the ranges from the specified range set from this range set (optional operation). After this operation, if other.contains(c), this.contains(c) will return false.
    This is equivalent to calling remove(com.google.common.collect.Range<C>) on each of the ranges in other in turn.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this range set does not support the removeAll operation
  - equals
```
boolean equals(@Nullable
               java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Returns true if obj is another RangeSet that contains the same ranges according to Range.equals(Object).
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Returns asRanges().hashCode().
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
  - toString
```
java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns a readable string representation of this range set. For example, if this RangeSet consisted of Range.closed(1, 3) and Range.greaterThan(4), this might return " [1‥3](4‥+∞)"}.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
