Field Detail

dimension

private int dimension

The dimension of this interval in the (original) data space.

min

private double min

The minimum (left) value of this interval.

max

private double max

The maximum (right) value of this interval.

Constructor Detail

Interval

public Interval(int dimension,
                double min,
                double max)

Creates a new interval with the specified parameters.

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension of the interval in the original data space

min - the minimum (left) value of the interval

max - the maximum (right) value of the interval

Method Detail

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Returns the dimension of the interval in the original data space

Returns:

the dimension of the interval in the original data space

getMin

public double getMin()

Returns the minimum (left) value of the interval.

Returns:

the minimum (left) value of the interval

getMax

public double getMax()

Returns the maximum (right) value of the interval.

Returns:

the maximum (right) value of the interval

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this interval. The string representation consists of the dimension and the min and max values of this interval.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this interval

compareTo

public int compareTo(Interval other)

Compares this interval with the specified interval for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this interval is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified interval. First the dimensions of the intervals are compared. In case of equality the min (left) values are compared.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Interval>

Parameters:

other - the interval to be compared

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
