Class NumberRangeTypes

java.lang.Object

com.jstatcom.model.NumberRangeTypes

public class NumberRangeTypes
extends java.lang.Object

This class contains an enumeration of constants that define different types of number ranges.

It implements the typesave enum pattern (Joshua Bloch, "Effective Java", Item 21). If you compare NumberRangeTypes, always use the == operator. This is save, because they are Singletons (Gamma et al., 1995).
