Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N>`	`above(N minInclusive)`	Requires the number to be greater than a lower bound.
`static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N>`	`below(N maxInclusive)`	Requires the number to be lower than an upper bound.
`static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N>`	`inRange(N minInclusive, N maxInclusive)`	Requires the number to be inside a range.
`static <N extends Number> PropertyConstraint<N>`	`positive()`	Requires the number to be strictly positive.

```
public static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N> inRange(N minInclusive,
                                                                      N maxInclusive)
```
    Requires the number to be inside a range.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    N - Type of number
    
    Returns:
    
    A range constraint
  - above
```
public static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N> above(N minInclusive)
```
    Requires the number to be greater than a lower bound.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    N - Type of number
    
    Returns:
    
    A range constraint
  - below
```
public static <N extends Comparable<N>> PropertyConstraint<N> below(N maxInclusive)
```
    Requires the number to be lower than an upper bound.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    N - Type of number
    
    Returns:
    
    A range constraint
  - positive
```
public static <N extends Number> PropertyConstraint<N> positive()
```
    Requires the number to be strictly positive. The int values of the number is used for comparison so there may be some unexpected behaviour with decimal numbers.
    Note: This constraint cannot be expressed in a XML ruleset.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    N - Type of number
    
    Returns:
    
    A positivity constraint
