NAME 
src/classes/Range.pir - methods for the Range class
DESCRIPTION
Methods
- ACCEPTS(topic) Determines if topic is within the range or equal to the range.
- clone() (vtable method) Create a clone of the Range.
- from()
- to() Gets the beginning or end of the range.
- iterator() (vtable function) Return an iterator for the Range. Since Ranges are already iterators, we can just return a clone.
- list() Generate the Range in list context. Currently we generate all of the elements in the range; when we have lazy lists we can just return a clone of the Range.
- max()
- min()
- minmax()
- perl() Returns a Perl representation of the Range.
- pop() (vtable_method) Generate the next element at the end of the Range.
- reverse() Generate the range in reverse sequence. (This is wrong for now-- really what should happen is that we invert .from and .to and switch the :by argument.)
- shift() (vtable_method) Generate the next element at the front of the Range.
- true() Return true if there are any more values to iterate over.
Operators
- infix:<..>
- infix:<^..>
- infix:<..^>
- infix:<^..^> Construct a range from the endpoints.
- prefix:<^>(Any $to) Construct a Range from
- prefix:<^>(Type $x) Return $x.HOW.
0 ..^ $to .
Private methods
- !flatten()
- !from_test(topic)
- !to_test(topic) Returns true if
topic is greater than .from / less than .to,
honoring exclusive flags.
