public class AscendingRangeIterator

Constructor Detail

AscendingRangeIterator

public AscendingRangeIterator(long start,
                              long step,
                              long end)

Create an iterator over a range of monotonically increasing integers

Parameters:

start - the first integer in the sequence

step - the increment; must be GT 0

end - the last integer in the sequence. Must be GE start.

Method Detail

makeRangeIterator

public static AtomicIterator makeRangeIterator(IntegerValue start,
                                               IntegerValue step,
                                               IntegerValue end)
                                        throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

getFirst

public IntegerValue getFirst()

getLast

public IntegerValue getLast()

getMin

public IntegerValue getMin()

getMax

public IntegerValue getMax()

getStep

public IntegerValue getStep()

Get the increment between successive values. For a descending iterator this will be negatiive value.

Returns:

the increment between successive values

supportsHasNext

public boolean supportsHasNext()

Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator

Ask whether the hasNext() method can be called. This method must be called before calling hasNext(), because some iterators implement this interface, but only support look-ahead under particular circumstances (this is usually because they delegate to another iterator)

Specified by:

supportsHasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Returns:

true if the LookaheadIterator.hasNext() method is available

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator

Determine whether there are more items to come. Note that this operation is stateless and it is not necessary (or usual) to call it before calling next(). It is used only when there is an explicit need to tell if we are at the last element.

This method must not be called unless the result of LookaheadIterator.supportsHasNext() is true.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Overrides:

hasNext in class net.sf.saxon.expr.RangeIterator

Returns:

true if there are more items in the sequence

next

public IntegerValue next()

Description copied from interface: AtomicIterator

Get the next atomic value in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface AtomicIterator

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

Overrides:

next in class net.sf.saxon.expr.RangeIterator

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more items, return null.

isActuallyGrounded

public boolean isActuallyGrounded()

Description copied from interface: GroundedIterator

Ask if the iterator is actually grounded. This method must be called before calling GroundedIterator.materialize() or GroundedIterator.getResidue(), because the iterator might be grounded under some conditions and not others (usually when it delegates to another iterator)

Specified by:

isActuallyGrounded in interface GroundedIterator

Returns:

true if this iterator is grounded

supportsGetLength

public boolean supportsGetLength()

Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder

Ask whether this iterator supports use of the LastPositionFinder.getLength() method. This method should always be called before calling LastPositionFinder.getLength(), because an iterator that implements this interface may support use of LastPositionFinder.getLength() in some situations and not in others

Specified by:

supportsGetLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Returns:

true if the LastPositionFinder.getLength() method can be called to determine the length of the underlying sequence.

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder

Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence). This method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the iterator. The result is undefined if the next() method of the iterator has already returned null. This method must not be called unless the LastPositionFinder.supportsGetLength() has been called and has returned true.

Specified by:

getLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Overrides:

getLength in class net.sf.saxon.expr.RangeIterator

Returns:

the number of items in the sequence

getReverseIterator

public AtomicIterator getReverseIterator()

Description copied from interface: ReversibleIterator

Get a new SequenceIterator that returns the same items in reverse order. If this SequenceIterator is an AxisIterator, then the returned SequenceIterator must also be an AxisIterator.

Specified by:

getReverseIterator in interface ReversibleIterator

Returns:

an iterator over the items in reverse order

materialize

public GroundedValue materialize()

Return a Value containing all the items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure.

Specified by:

materialize in interface GroundedIterator

Overrides:

materialize in class net.sf.saxon.expr.RangeIterator

Returns:

the corresponding Value

getResidue

public GroundedValue getResidue()

Description copied from interface: GroundedIterator

Return a GroundedValue containing all the remaining items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator, starting at the current position. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure. This method does not change the state of the iterator (in particular, it does not consume the iterator).

Specified by:

getResidue in interface GroundedIterator

Overrides:

getResidue in class net.sf.saxon.expr.RangeIterator

Returns:

the corresponding Value
