[ruby-core:85734] [Ruby trunk Feature#14473] Add Range#subrange?

Issue #14473 has been updated by owst (Owen Stephens).


So, something like (naive implementation in Ruby): 

~~~ ruby
Range.class_exec do
  def subset?(other)
    raise ArgumentError unless other.is_a?(Range)

    first >= other.first && last <= other.last
  end

  def proper_subset?(other)
    raise ArgumentError unless other.is_a?(Range)

    self != other && subset?(other)
  end

  def superset?(other)
    raise ArgumentError unless other.is_a?(Range)

    first <= other.first && last >= other.last
  end

  def proper_superset?(other)
    raise ArgumentError unless other.is_a?(Range)

    self != other && superset?(other)
  end
end

require 'minitest/autorun'
class TestRange < MiniTest::Test
  def test_subset
    assert_equal true, (1..10).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (2..9).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (1..9).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (2..10).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (0..11).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (0..10).subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (1..11).subset?(1..10)
    assert_raises(ArgumentError) { (1..10).subset?('not a range') }
  end

  def test_proper_subset
    assert_equal false, (1..10).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (2..9).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (1..9).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (2..10).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (0..11).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (0..10).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (1..11).proper_subset?(1..10)
    assert_raises(ArgumentError) { (1..10).proper_subset?('not a range') }
  end

  def test_superset
    assert_equal true, (1..10).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (2..9).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (1..9).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (2..10).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (0..11).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (0..10).superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (1..11).superset?(1..10)
    assert_raises(ArgumentError) { (1..10).superset?('not a range') }
  end

  def test_proper_superset
    assert_equal false, (1..10).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (2..9).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (1..9).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal false, (2..10).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (0..11).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (0..10).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_equal true, (1..11).proper_superset?(1..10)
    assert_raises(ArgumentError) { (1..10).proper_superset?('not a range') }
  end
end
~~~

For the record, I'd be interested in taking a stab at implementing this in MRI, if the proposal is accepted.

Feature #14473: Add Range#subrange?

Hi there,

I'd like to propose a method that returns true when a range that the method gets called on is a subrange of a range passed in as an argument.

Example:

~~~ ruby
(2..4).subrange?(1...4) 
=> true
(-2..2).subrange?(-1..3) 
=> false
~~~
