Hi Bruno,
2013/8/24 Bruno P. Kinoshita <ki...@apache.org>
> Hi All,
>
> I would like to merge [functor]'s branch generators-FUNCTOR-14 [1],
> related to issue FUNCTOR-14 [2].
>
> This the summary of the changes in that branch:
>
> - New subpackage, o.a.c.functor.generator.loop
> - New generator type added, LoopGenerator, that can be stopped
> - The BaseGenerator has no long isStopped() or stop() methods. Both have
> been moved to the LoopGenerator.
> - Ranges are no long generators
> - New package o.a.c.functor.range
> - Range extends Iterable and Iterator interfaces
>
> The motivation for these changes were to be able to create generators that
> didn't have the stoppable behaviour (thus the new package and type), and to
> be able to have simple ranges in for loops.
>
> Before the new range package, in order to iterate over the created range,
> you would have to write a Procedure that would be used as a callback for
> each range element. Now, by extending Iterable/Iterator you can do as
> follows:
>
> +--snippet--+
> Range<Integer, Integer> n = new IntegerRange(0, 10);
> for (int i : n) {
> System.out.printf("%d ", i);
> }
> +--snippet--+
>
>
> That produces 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 , or even a range like:
>
> +--snippet--+
>
> for (int i : Ranges.integerRange(0, BoundType.OPEN, 10, BoundType.OPEN,
> 2)) { // 2 is the step
> System.out.printf("%d ", i);
> }
> +--snippet--+
>
>From just looking at this code snipped I don't get what BoundType.OPEN
means. Can you enlighten me? ;-)
