Range.Net 1.0.0

Range.NET

Range allows comparable types to be used as a range.

Basic Usage

Create a new range

var range = new Range<int>(1,10);

Assert.Equal(1, range.Minimum);
Assert.Equal(10, range.Maximum);

Range contains value

var range = new Range<int>(1,10);

Assert.True(range.Contains(1));
Assert.True(range.Contains(3));
Assert.True(range.Contains(10));
Assert.False(range.Contains(0));
Assert.False(range.Contains(11));

Range contains another

var range1 = new Range<int>(1,10);
var range2 = new Range<int>(4,5);

Assert.True(range1.Contains(range2));
Assert.False(range2.Contains(range1));

Range intersects with another

var range = new Range<int>(1,10);

Assert.True(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(0,2)));
Assert.True(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(0,11)));
Assert.True(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(9,11)));
Assert.True(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(1,9)));
Assert.False(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(-1,0)));
Assert.False(range.Intersects(new Range<int>(11,12)));

Union a range with another

var range1 = new Range<int>(1,6);
var range2 = new Range<int>(3,10);

var union = range1.Union(range2);

Assert.Equal(1, union.Miniumum);
Assert.Equal(2, union.Maximum);

Advanced Usage

Inclusivity/Exclusivity

A range may specfy inclusivity/exclusivity of the minimum and maximum values using the Inclusivity property. InclusiveMinInclusiveMax the default used by Range.

var range1 = new Range<int>(1,10) { Inclusivity = ExclusiveMinExclusiveMax };
var range2 = new Range<int>(1,10) { Inclusivity = ExclusiveMinInclusiveMax };
var range3 = new Range<int>(1,10) { Inclusivity = InclusiveMinExclusiveMax };
var range4 = new Range<int>(1,10) { Inclusivity = InclusiveMinInclusiveMax };

Assert.False(range1.Contains(1));
Assert.False(range1.Contains(10));

Assert.True(range2.Contains(1))
Assert.False(range2.Contains(10))

Assert.True(range3.Contains(1))
Assert.False(range3.Contains(10))

Assert.True(range4.Contains(1))
Assert.True(range4.Contains(10))

IQueryable filtering

The library includes extensions to IQueryable which can be used with entity framework to filter a property by a range of the same type. This will automatically handle inclusivity.

var range = new Range<int>(3, 6);
var queryable = Enumerable
    .Range(1, 10)
    .Select(i => (intVal: i, strVal: i.ToString()))
    .AsQueryable();
var actual = queryable.FilterByRange(a => a.intVal, range);

Assert.Equal(
    new[] {
        (3, "3"),
        (4, "4"),
        (5, "5"),
        (6, "6")
    },
    actual
);
