public class IntegerSpace

extends CoordinateSpace

The space of all integers. See the class comments in IntegerRegion, XuInteger, and IntegerDsp for interesting properties of this space. Especially IntegerRegion. IntegerSpaces are the most frequently used of the coordinate spaces. XuArrays are an efficient data structure which we provide as a table whose domain space is an integer space. In so doing, the notion of an array is made to be simply a particular case of a table indexed by the positions of a coordinate space. However, IntegerSpaces and XuArrays are both expected to be more efficient than other spaces and tables built on other spaces. See XuArray

Constructor Detail

IntegerSpace

public IntegerSpace()

Method Detail

above

public IntegerRegion above(IntegerPos start,
                           boolean inclusive)

Essential. Make a region that contains all integers greater than (or equal if inclusive is true) to start.

below

public IntegerRegion below(IntegerPos stop,
                           boolean inclusive)

Make a region that contains all integers less than (or equal if inclusive is true) to stop.

interval

public IntegerRegion interval(IntegerPos start,
                              IntegerPos stop)

Make a region that contains all integers greater than or equal to start and less than stop.

position

public IntegerPos position(IntegerValue value)

Essential. Make an integer Position object

translation

public IntegerMapping translation(IntegerValue value)

Essential. Make a Mapping which adds a fixed amount to any value. Should this just be supplanted by CoordinateSpace::mapping ()?

actualHashForEqual

public int actualHashForEqual()

is equal to any basic space on the same category of positions

Overrides:

actualHashForEqual in class CoordinateSpace

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(Heaper anObject)

is equal to any basic space on the same category of positions

Specified by:

isEqual in class CoordinateSpace

sendSelfTo

public void sendSelfTo(Xmtr xmtr)

Overrides:

sendSelfTo in class Heaper

implicitReceiver

public static IntegerSpace implicitReceiver()

Get the receievr for wire requests.

make

public static IntegerSpace make()

return the one integer space

make

public static Heaper make(Rcvr rcvr)
