範囲指定された時間の上限下限


A set of ordered Quantities defined by a low and high limit.

Short範囲指定された時間の上限下限Set of values bounded by low and high
Comments

時間の上限量、下限量の範囲を持っている。単位指定された数量を割り当てている。Low,Highの値は時間の単位当てはめる。


The stated low and high value are assumed to have arbitrarily high precision when it comes to determining which values are in the range. I.e. 1.99 is not in the range 2 -> 3.

Definition
