Method Detail

add

long add(long s0,
         long s1)

Parameters:

s0 - A serial number

s1 - A serial number

Returns:

s0 + s1

bits

int bits()

Returns:

The number of bits used

compare

long compare(long s0,
             long s1)

Compare the serial numbers s0 and s1.

Parameters:

s0 - A serial number

s1 - A serial number

Returns:

0 if the serial numbers are equal, a value less than 0 iff

distance

long distance(long s0,
              long s1)

Calculate the distance between s0 and s1.

Parameters:

s0 - A serial number

s1 - A serial number

Returns:

The distance

inRange

boolean inRange(long s)

Determine serial number validity.

Parameters:

s - A serial number

Returns:

true iff s0 is in the range [0, (2 ^ bits()) - 1]
