Interval class

An interval between two points, start and end.

Interval can calculate unions, intersections, and differences between individual intervals:

final a = Interval(0, 3);
final b = Interval(2, 5);
print(a.union(b)); // [[0, 5]]
print(a.intersection(b)); // [2,3]
print(a.difference(b)); // [[0, 2]]

See IntervalTree for calculating more complex unions, intersections, and differences between collections of intervals.

Notice that the Interval class name unfortunately clashes with the Interval class from the Flutter animation library. However, there are two ways around this problem. Either use the syntax with list literals, or import either library with a name prefix, for example:

import 'package:interval_tree/interval_tree.dart' as ivt;

final interval = ivt.Interval(1, 2);

Methods

compareTo(Interval other) → int
Compares this interval to the other interval.
override
contains(Interval other) → bool
Returns true if this interval contains the other interval.
difference(Interval other) → Iterable<Interval>?
Returns the difference between this interval and the other interval, or null if the other interval contains this interval.

override
union(Interval other) → Interval
Returns the union of this interval and the other interval.

Operators

operator <(Interval other) → bool
Returns true if this interval start or ends before the other interval.
operator <=(Interval other) → bool
Returns true if this interval starts or ends before or same as the other interval.
operator ==(Object other) → bool
Returns true if this interval starts and ends same as the other interval.
override
operator >(Interval other) → bool
Returns true if this interval starts or ends after the other interval.
operator >=(Interval other) → bool
Returns true if this interval starts or ends after or same as the other interval.
