## Class MeasurementRange<E extends Number & Comparable<? super E>>

- Object
- - Range<E>
  - - NumberRange<E>
    - - MeasurementRange<E>

- Type Parameters:
    `E` - the type of range elements as a subclass of `Number`.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Formattable, CheckedContainer<E>, Emptiable

      public class MeasurementRange<E extends Number & Comparable<? super E>>
      extends NumberRange<E>

  A range of numbers associated with a unit of measurement. All operations performed by this class (union, intersection, etc.) are performed in the unit of measurement of `this` range object - values of the range object given in argument are converted if needed before an operation is applied.

  Other methods defined in this class:

  - Convenience `create(…)` static methods for every floating point primitive types. Usage of `MeasurementRange` with integer types is possible, but no convenience method is provided for integers because they are usually not representative of the nature of physical measurements.
  - `convertTo(Unit)` for converting the unit of measurement.
  - `castTo(Class)` for casting the range values to an other type.
  Immutability and thread safety
  This class is immutable and thus inherently thread-safe. Subclasses may or may not be immutable, at implementation choice. But implementors are encouraged to make sure that subclasses remain immutable for more predictable behavior.

                                  Unit<?> unit)

      Constructs a range with the same values than the specified range and the given unit. This is a copy constructor, with the addition of a unit of measurement.
      Parameters:
        `range` - the range to copy. The elements must be `Number` instances.
        `unit` - the unit of measurement, or `null` if unknown.

      Constructs a range of the given type with values from the given annotation. This constructor does not verify if the given type is wide enough for the values of the given annotation, because those information are usually static. If nevertheless the given type is not wide enough, then the values are truncated in the same way than the Java language casts primitive types.

        `type` - the element type, restricted to one of `Byte`, `Short`, `Integer`, `Long`, `Float` or `Double`.
        `range` - the range of values.
        `unit` - the unit of measurement, or `null` if unknown.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the given type is not one of the primitive wrappers for numeric types.
