public abstract class NumericRange
extends java.lang.Object

A range of numbers.

A numeric range is represented by a pair of numbers start and end. Ranges are inclusive - the range (start,end) represents all numbers x which satisfy:

start ≤ x ≤ end

Either or both of start and end may be null, in which case there is no constraint. Thus all the following combinations are possible:

start	end	condition
not null	not null	start ≤ x ≤ end
null	not null	x ≤ end
not null	null	x ≥ start
not null	= start	x = start = end
null	null	no conditions (all values of x match)
