Claude Warren commented on LANG-1387:
-------------------------------------
is there any update on this? Any further thinking about where to place this?
I think it does not belong in
* Numbers as it is not a type of number (primes, complex, etc.)
* Collections as it is not a collection unto itself. It can be used to track
position in collections but it does not have a reference or pointer to a
collection of objects.
Is there a reason not to put it in lang?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1387
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*, lang.math.*
> Affects Versions: 3.7
> Reporter: Claude Warren
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is a contribution of a span class as discussed on the mailing list.
> The classes are int and long based and can:
> # determine if points are within the span.
> # determine if one span contains another span
> # determine if two spans overlap
> # do not have to have 0 (zero) as the index origin.
> # determine the length of the span
> # determine the last position in the span.
> # determine the first position in the span.
> Changes to Number Utils required to detect underflow and overflow
> calculations.
