Detailed Description

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
class theplu::yat::utility::Segment< T, Compare >

a class for a Segment or Interval

A Segment is defined by its begin and end. The end is not included in the Segment, i.e., you could write the Segment as [begin, end). Type T must be comparable, optionally with a comparator Compare, which should implement Strict Weak Ordering..

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
const T& theplu::yat::utility::Segment< T, Compare >::begin ( void   )  const [inline]

Returns:
const reference to first element in Segment

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
T& theplu::yat::utility::Segment< T, Compare >::begin ( void   )  [inline]

Returns:
reference to first element in Segment

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
const T& theplu::yat::utility::Segment< T, Compare >::end ( void   )  const [inline]

Returns:
const reference to first element greater than Segment

template<typename T, class Compare = std::less<T>>
T& theplu::yat::utility::Segment< T, Compare >::end ( void   )  [inline]

Returns:
reference to first element greater than Segment


Friends And Related Function Documentation

template<typename T , class Compare >
bool compare ( const Segment< T, Compare > &  lhs,
const Segment< T, Compare > &  rhs 
) [related]

This function takes two Segment and compare them with comparator Compare. If all elements in lhs is less than all elements in rhs, true is returned. In other words, false is returned if rhs.begin() is less than lhs.end().

The exception is if both lhs and rhs are empty Segment (i.e. begin equals end) and their begins and ends are equal, in which case false is returned. This exception implies that compare(x,x) always returns false.

template<typename T , class Compare >
int compare_3way ( const T &  element,
const Segment< T, Compare > &  segment 
) [related]

Returns:
-1 if element is less than all elements in segment, 0 if element overlaps with segment, and 1 otherwise.

new in yat 0.7

template<typename T , class Compare >
int compare_3way ( const Segment< T, Compare > &  lhs,
const Segment< T, Compare > &  rhs 
) [related]

Returns:
-1 if compare(lhs, rhs) is true, +1 if compare(rhs, lhs) is true, and 0 otherwise

template<typename T , class Compare >
Segment< T, Compare > intersection ( const Segment< T, Compare > &  a,
const Segment< T, Compare > &  b 
) [related]

Returns:
intersection of a and b. If a and b do not overlap an empty Section is returned (begin==end), but the exact value of begin is undefined.
