Interval

Usage

Interval[{min, max}] represents the range of values between min and max.
Interval[{ ,  }, { ,  }, ... ] represents the union of the ranges  to  ,  to  , ....


Notes

• You can perform arithmetic and other operations on Interval objects.
• Example: Interval[ 1, 6 ] + Interval[ 0, 2 ]LongRightArrow .
Min[interval] and Max[interval] give the end points of an interval.
• For approximate machine- or arbitrary-precision numbers x, Interval[x] yields an interval reflecting the uncertainty in x.
• In operations on intervals that involve approximate numbers, Mathematica always rounds lower limits down and upper limits up.
Interval can be generated by functions such as Limit.
• Relational operators such as Equal and Less yield explicit True or False results whenever they are given disjoint intervals.
• See Section 3.6.9.
• See also: Range.
• New in Version 3.
