Constructor Detail

Expression.MinMax

public Expression.MinMax(Expression<E> expr,
                 int minOccurrences,
                 int maxOccurrences)

Parameters:

minOccurrences - minimum occurrences, must be >= 0

maxOccurrences - maximum occurrences, must be >= 1 - you should prefer small values, as the use of large values will create a large automaton that takes a lot of memory
