Method Detail

add

public void add(TimeRange trange)

Adds the TimeRange object to this TimeRange. The resulting TimeRange is the smallest TimeRange that contains both the origial TimeRange and the specified TimeRange.

equals

public boolean equals(TimeRange tr)

Test for equality. The start, end, and delta must all be equal for equality.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: java.lang.Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Following copied from class: java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
