Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final Interval[]	EMPTY_ARRAY
static final Interval	EMPTY_INTERVAL	An empty (singleton) interval.
static final Comparator<Interval>	ENDS_AFTER	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval ends after the second one, that is, iff b' < b.
static final Comparator<Interval>	ENDS_BEFORE	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval ends before the second one, that is, iff b < b'.
static final Comparator<Interval>	ENDS_BEFORE_OR_IS_SUFFIX	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval ends before or is a suffix of the second one, that is, iff b < b' or b=b' and a' < a.
static final Comparator<Interval>	LENGTH_COMPARATOR	A comparator between intervals based on their length.
static final Interval	MINUS_INFINITY	A singleton located at −∞.
static final Comparator<Interval>	STARTS_AFTER	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval starts after the second one, that is, iff a' < a.
static final Comparator<Interval>	STARTS_BEFORE	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval starts before the second one, that is, iff a < a'.
static final Comparator<Interval>	STARTS_BEFORE_OR_PROLONGS	A comparator between intervals defined as follows: [a..b] is less than [a'..b'] iff the first interval starts before or prolongs the second one, that is, iff a < a' or a=a' and b' < b.
