All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public final class Range
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
An immutable representation of a range, marked by start and end points.
The range is treated as inclusive at the start, and exclusive at the end. I.e. the range [0..1[ has the length 1, and represents one integer: 0.
The range is considered empty if the start is the same as the end.

Since:

8.0

  - withOnly
```
public static Range withOnly(int integer)
```
    Creates a range object representing a single integer.

                     throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Creates a range between two integers.
    The range start is inclusive and the end is exclusive. So, a range "between" 0 and 5 represents the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, but not 5.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the start of the the range, inclusive
    
    end - the end of the range, exclusive
    
    Returns:
    
    a range representing [start..end[
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if start > end
  - withLength
```
public static Range withLength(int start,
                               int length)

```
    Creates a range from a start point, with a given length.
    
    Parameters:

  - partitionWith
```
public Range[] partitionWith(Range other)
```
    Overlay this range with another one, and partition the ranges according to how they position relative to each other.
    The three partitions are returned as a three-element Range array:
    - Elements in this range that occur before elements in other.
    - Elements that are shared between the two ranges.

    Returns:
    
    true if this range starts after the other
  - splitAt
```
public Range[] splitAt(int integer)
```
    Split the range into two at a certain integer.
    Example: [5..10[.splitAt(7) == [5..7[, [7..10[
    
    Parameters:
    
    integer - the integer at which to split the range into two
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of two ranges, with [start..integer[ in the first element, and [integer..end[ in the second element.
    If integer is less than start, [empty, this ] is returned. if integer is equal to or greater than end, [this, empty] is returned instead.
  - splitAtFromStart
```
public Range[] splitAtFromStart(int length)
```
    Split the range into two after a certain number of integers into the range.
    Calling this method is equivalent to calling splitAt(getStart()+length);
    Example: [5..10[.splitAtFromStart(2) == [5..7[, [7..10[
    
    Parameters:
    
    length - the length at which to split this range into two
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of two ranges, having the length-first elements of this range, and the second range having the rest. If length <= 0, the first element will be empty, and the second element will be this range. If length >= length(), the first element will be this range, and the second element will be empty.
  - combineWith
```
public Range combineWith(Range other)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Combines two ranges to create a range containing all values in both ranges, provided there are no gaps between the ranges.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the range to combine with this range
    
    Returns:
    
    the combined range
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the two ranges aren't connected
  - expand
```
public Range expand(int startDelta,
                    int endDelta)
             throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Creates a range that is expanded the given amounts in both ends.
    
    Parameters:
    
    startDelta - the amount to expand by in the beginning of the range
    
    endDelta - the amount to expand by in the end of the range
    
    Returns:
    
    an expanded range
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the new range would have start > end
  - restrictTo
```
public Range restrictTo(Range bounds)
```
    Limits this range to be within the bounds of the provided range.
    This is basically an optimized way of calculating partitionWith(Range)[1] without the overhead of defining the parts that do not overlap.
    If the two ranges do not intersect, an empty range is returned. There are no guarantees about the position of that range.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bounds - the bounds that the returned range should be limited to
    
    Returns:
    
    a bounded range
