## weka.core
Class Range

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.Range

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable

    public class Range

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Class representing a range of cardinal numbers. The range is set by a string representation such as:

`all first-last 1,2,3,4`

or combinations thereof. The range is internally converted from 1-based to 0-based (so methods that set or get numbers not in string format should use 0-based numbers).

Constructor Summary
`Range()` Default constructor.
`Range(java.lang.String rangeList)` Constructor to set initial range.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `getInvert()` Gets whether the range sense is inverted, i.e.
`java.lang.String` | `getRanges()` Gets the string representing the selected range of values
`int[]` | `getSelection()` Gets an array containing all the selected values, in the order that they were selected (or ascending order if range inversion is on)
`static java.lang.String` | `indicesToRangeList(int[] indices)` Creates a string representation of the indices in the supplied array.
`boolean` | `isInRange(int index)` Gets whether the supplied cardinal number is included in the current range.
`static void` | `main(java.lang.String[] argv)` Main method for testing this class.
`void` | `setInvert(boolean newSetting)` Sets whether the range sense is inverted, i.e.
`void` | `setRanges(java.lang.String rangeList)` Sets the ranges from a string representation.
`void` | `setUpper(int newUpper)` Sets the value of "last".
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` Constructs a representation of the current range.

Constructor Detail

### Range

    public Range()

  Default constructor.

### Range

    public Range(java.lang.String rangeList)

  Constructor to set initial range.

  Parameters:
    `rangeList` - the initial range
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the range list is invalid

Method Detail

### setUpper

    public void setUpper(int newUpper)

  Sets the value of "last".

  Parameters:
    `newUpper` - the value of "last"

### getInvert

    public boolean getInvert()

  Gets whether the range sense is inverted, i.e. all except the values included by the range string are selected.

  Returns:
    whether the matching sense is inverted

### setInvert

    public void setInvert(boolean newSetting)

  Sets whether the range sense is inverted, i.e. all except the values included by the range string are selected.

  Parameters:
    `newSetting` - true if the matching sense is inverted

### getRanges

    public java.lang.String getRanges()

  Gets the string representing the selected range of values

  Returns:
    the range selection string

### setRanges

    public void setRanges(java.lang.String rangeList)

  Sets the ranges from a string representation. Note that setUpper() must be called afterwards for ranges to be actually set internally.

  Parameters:
    `rangeList` - the comma separated list of ranges. The empty string sets the range to empty.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the rangeList was not well formed

### isInRange

    public boolean isInRange(int index)

  Gets whether the supplied cardinal number is included in the current range.

  Parameters:
    `index` - the number of interest
  Returns:
    true if index is in the current range
  Throws:
    `java.lang.RuntimeException` - if the upper limit of the range hasn't been defined

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Constructs a representation of the current range. Being a string representation, the numbers are based from 1.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    the string representation of the current range

### getSelection

    public int[] getSelection()

  Gets an array containing all the selected values, in the order that they were selected (or ascending order if range inversion is on)

  Returns:
    the array of selected values
  Throws:
    `java.lang.RuntimeException` - if the upper limit of the range hasn't been defined

### indicesToRangeList

    public static java.lang.String indicesToRangeList(int[] indices)

  Creates a string representation of the indices in the supplied array.

  Parameters:
    `indices` - an array containing indices to select. Since the array will typically come from a program, indices are assumed from 0, and thus will have 1 added in the String representation.

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

  Main method for testing this class.

  Parameters:
    `argv` - one parameter: a test range specification
