Constructor Detail

SimplePosition

public SimplePosition(int position)

Method Detail

pos

public int pos()

Description copied from interface: Position

Return the integer value of this position. pos() should be nondecreasing with respect to the ordering imposed by Position.compareTo(java.lang.Object), but need not be strictly increasing.

Specified by:

pos in interface Position

Returns:

the integer value of this position.

next

public Position next()

Description copied from interface: Position

Return the position immediately following this one.

Specified by:

next in interface Position

Returns:

the next position.

previous

public Position previous()

Description copied from interface: Position

Return the position immediately preceding this one.

Specified by:

previous in interface Position

Returns:

the previous position.

midpoint

public Position midpoint(Position p)

Description copied from interface: Position

Find the Position midway between this position and another one.

Specified by:

midpoint in interface Position

Parameters:

p - the other endpoint.

Returns:

the Position lying midway between this position and p.

begin

public Element begin(Element e)

Description copied from interface: Position

Transform an element of which this is the beginning position.

Specified by:

begin in interface Position

Parameters:

e - the Element to transform.

Returns:

a transformed version of e, possibly e itself.

end

public Element end(Element e)

Description copied from interface: Position

Transform an element of which this is the ending position.

Specified by:

end in interface Position

Parameters:

e - the Element to transform.

Returns:

a transformed version of e, possibly e itself.

extend

public Position extend(Position p)

Description copied from interface: Position

Find the Position the same distance from this position as another position, but on the other side.

Specified by:

extend in interface Position

Parameters:

p - the other endpoint.

Returns:

the Position lying midway between this position and p.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Description copied from interface: Position

Compare this position to another Position. As is always the case with Comparables, implementors must ensure that compareTo is transitive, antisymmetric, and irreflexive regardless of the particular classes of the arguments. In practice, this means that compareTo may treat objects of the same class specially, but should use Position.pos() to compare Elements which are not related in an implementation heirarchy.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Position

Parameters:

o - the object against which to compare.

Returns:

-1 if this position precedes o, 1 if this position follows o, or 0 if this position equals o.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

toString

public String toString()
