Constructor Detail

### AbstractRangeLocation

    public AbstractRangeLocation()

Method Detail

### blockIterator

    public Iterator blockIterator()

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  Return an Iterator over the set of maximal contiguous sub-locations.

  Given any location, it can be considered to contain zero or more maximal contiguous blocks of width 1 or greater. The empty location is composed from nothing. A contiguous location is composed from itself. A non-contiguous location is composed from contiguous blocks seperated by gaps.

  This method should return an Iterator over these maximally contiguous blocks starting with the left-most block, and finishing at the right-most block.

  Returns:
    an Iterator over Location objects that are the maximally contiguous set of locations contained within this location

### isContiguous

    public boolean isContiguous()

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  Determine if a Location is contiguous.

  Returns:
    `true` if and only if this Location contains every point from `min` to `max` inclusive.

### symbols

    public SymbolList symbols(SymbolList seq)

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  Return the symbols in a sequence that fall within this range.

  Parameters:
    `seq` - the SymbolList to process
  Returns:
    the SymbolList containing the symbols in seq in this range

### contains

    public boolean contains(int p)

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  Checks if this location contains a point.

  Parameters:
    `p` - the point to check
  Returns:
    true if this contains p, otherwise false
