Package net.sf.saxon.tree.iter

Class RangeIterator

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.tree.iter.RangeIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, SequenceIterator, GroundedIterator

Direct Known Subclasses:

BigRangeIterator

public abstract class RangeIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements GroundedIterator

This abstract class represents an iteration over the results of a range expression (A by B to C). There are implementations for ascending and descending iterators, implemented separately for integer ranges within the 64-bit long range, and for ranges that might include larger integers.

As well as being able to deliver a sequence of integers, these iterators also allow testing the length of the sequence returned, for the existence of a particular value, for the minimum and maximum values, for the first and last values, and for the Nth value.

RangeIterator

public RangeIterator()

Method Detail

getResidue

public abstract GroundedValue getResidue()

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

Returns:

the corresponding Value

Throws:

UncheckedXPathException - in the cases of subclasses (such as the iterator over a MemoClosure) which cause evaluation of expressions while materializing the value.

getFirst

public abstract IntegerValue getFirst()

getLast

public abstract IntegerValue getLast()

getMin

public abstract IntegerValue getMin()

getMax

public abstract IntegerValue getMax()

getStep

public abstract IntegerValue getStep()

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

Returns:

the increment between successive values

containsEq

public boolean containsEq(NumericValue val)

Ask whether the iterator will deliver a value equal to a supplied value

Parameters:

val - the supplied value

Returns:

true if the value is one of those that the iterator will deliver
