ScaleRange

class whalrus.ScaleRange(low: int, high: int)

A scale of consecutive integers.

Remark: for a scale of non-consecutive integers, such as {-1, 0, 2}, use the ScaleFromSet.

Parameters:

• low (int) – Lowest integer.
• high (int) – Highest integer.

Examples

>>> scale = ScaleRange(low=0, high=5)

argsort(some_list: list, reverse: bool = False) → list

Examples

>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).argsort([3, 1, 4])
[1, 0, 2]

compare(one: object, another: object) → int

Compare two levels.

Parameters:

• one (object) – A level.
• another (object) – A level.

Returns:

0 if they are equal, a positive number if one is greater than another, a negative number otherwise.

Return type:

int

Examples

>>> Scale().compare('a', 'z')
-1

eq(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “equal”. Cf. lt().

ge(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “greater or equal”. Cf. lt().

gt(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “greater than”. Cf. lt().

high

Examples

>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).high
5

le(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “lower or equal”. Cf. lt().

low

Examples

>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).low
0

lt(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “lower than”.

Generally, only this method is overridden in the subclasses.

Parameters:

• one (object) – A level of the scale.
• another (object) – A level of the scale.

Returns:

True iff one is lower than another.

Return type:

bool

Examples

>>> Scale().lt('a', 'z')
True

max(iterable: Iterable[T_co]) → object

Examples

>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).max([3, 1, 4])
4

min(iterable: Iterable[T_co]) → object

Examples

>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).min([3, 1, 4])
1

ne(one: object, another: object) → bool

Test “not equal”. Cf. lt().

sort(some_list: list, reverse: bool = False) → None

Examples

>>> some_list = [3, 1, 4]
>>> ScaleRange(low=0, high=5).sort(some_list)
>>> some_list
[1, 3, 4]
