This package contains an immutable record class named Interval which represents an Interval of values of a given type. The record class type was introduced in C# 9 and the main reason that this type is used is because the with expressions will make it easy to use immutable objects. IntervalRecords is using the Unbounded package for support of Unbounded, LeftBounded and RightBounded intervals.
IntervalRecords will help you to create, canonicalize, compare, combine, measure, iterate and parse all the different types of intervals. It implements the interval comparison based on the interval overlapping relation that was described by the IEEE Interval Standard Working Group.
Nuget Package IntervalRecords
Install-Package IntervalRecordsMinimum Requirements: .NET 6.0
The following interval types are supported by type specific extension methods:
Interval<int>Interval<double>Interval<DateTime>Interval<DateTimeOffset>Interval<DateOnly>Interval<TimeOnly>
The GetIntervalOverlapping extension method will calculate the overlapping relation between two intervals. This gantt chart will show you all the possible IntervalOverlapping relations compared to the reference interval:
