Moment
Each instance of the class Moment represents a “moment” on a time scale,
identified by an integer number.
Different time scales may be used in different contexts. Moment objects
could be used to represent different years, months, dates, hours, etc.,
depending on what is desired.
A Moment object is immutable after it has been created. That is, its
state can not be changed in any way.
- Value parameters:
- time
an integer indicating which moment the object should represent (2022, for instance)
Value members
Concrete methods
Determines the length of time between this moment and another given moment.
For instance, if this moment represents the year 2000 and another the year
2022, returns 22. The distance is always either positive or zero.
Determines the length of time between this moment and another given moment.
For instance, if this moment represents the year 2000 and another the year
2022, returns 22. The distance is always either positive or zero.
Returns the earlier of two moments, either this one or the moment provided as a parameter. If there is no difference, one of the two is returned arbitrarily.
Returns the earlier of two moments, either this one or the moment provided as a parameter. If there is no difference, one of the two is returned arbitrarily.
Determines whether this moment is in the given time interval, that is, whether the given time interval contains this moment. A time interval is inclusive; its start and end moments are also contained in the interval.
Determines whether this moment is in the given time interval, that is, whether the given time interval contains this moment. A time interval is inclusive; its start and end moments are also contained in the interval.
Determines whether this moment is later than another given moment.
Determines whether this moment is later than another given moment.
Determines whether this moment is later than the given time interval. This is only deemed to be the case if the entire interval comes before this moment on the time scale.
Determines whether this moment is later than the given time interval. This is only deemed to be the case if the entire interval comes before this moment on the time scale.
Returns the later of two moments, either this one or the moment provided as a parameter. If there is no difference, one of the two is returned arbitrarily.
