Gilles Sadowski commented on NUMBERS-195:
-----------------------------------------
{quote}[...] I have the same question for methods like StringUtils.isEmpty()
and CollectionUtils.isEmpty() [...]
{quote}
It's not the same because
{code:java}
coll.isEmpty(){code}
and
{code:java}
coll.size() >= 0{code}
both involve a method call.
Method {{isBetween(x, a, b)}} does not improve readability (slightly the
opposite IMHO).
It could even be error-prone since a "logical" order for arguments could be
construed as {{{}isBetween(a, x, b){}}}.
Also, if we were to consider the syntactic sugar, this kind of checks should
not be in {{ArithmeticUtils}} whose scope is (as per its Javadoc): "arithmetics
related, additions to the built-in functions in [JDK's] Math [class]".
