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

]

• 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.
