CountableValueRange (OptaPlanner distribution 8.11.1.Final API)

All Superinterfaces:

ValueRange<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCountableValueRange, BigDecimalValueRange, BigIntegerValueRange, BooleanValueRange, CompositeCountableValueRange, EmptyValueRange, IntValueRange, ListValueRange, LongValueRange, NullableCountableValueRange, TemporalValueRange
```
public interface CountableValueRange<T>
extends ValueRange<T>
```
A ValueRange that is ending. Therefore, it has a discrete (as in non-continuous) range.
An implementation must extend AbstractCountableValueRange to ensure backwards compatibility in future versions.

    Parameters:
    
    index - always < getSize()
    
    Returns:
    
    sometimes null (if PlanningVariable.nullable() is true)
