Interface IGranularity<T extends IGranularity>

Type Parameters:

T - the object type of the granularity

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleGranularity, TimeGranularity

public interface IGranularity<T extends IGranularity>

A granularity describes a time unit (e.g. "Hour", "Minute", ...).

Since:

1.0

Author:

Dirk Lemmermann

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getName() Returns the name of the granularity.
boolean	isLarger(T granularity) Determines whether the given granularity is larger than the given one.
boolean	isSmaller(T granularity) Determines whether the granularity is smaller than the given one.

Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of the granularity.

Returns:

the name of the granularity

Since:

1.0

isSmaller

boolean isSmaller(T granularity)

Determines whether the granularity is smaller than the given one. A granularity is smaller if it represents a smaller time unit. Minutes are smaller than hours, seconds are smaller than minutes.

Parameters:

granularity - the granularity with which to perform the comparison

Returns:

TRUE if the granularity is smaller than the given one

Since:

1.0

isLarger

boolean isLarger(T granularity)

Determines whether the given granularity is larger than the given one. A granularity is larger if it represents a larger time unit. Hours are larger than minutes, days are larger than hours.

Parameters:

granularity - the granularity with which to perform the comparison

Returns:

TRUE if the granularity is larger than the given one

Since:
