### Methods

#### addInterval(interval, dataComparer)
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 303

  Adds an interval to the collection, merging intervals that contain the same data and splitting intervals of different data as needed in order to maintain a non-overlapping collection. The data in the new interval takes precedence over any existing intervals in the collection.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `interval` | TimeInterval | The interval to add.
  `dataComparer` | TimeInterval~DataComparer | optional A function which compares the data of the two intervals. If omitted, reference equality is used.

#### contains(julianDate) → Boolean
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 220

  Checks if the specified date is inside this collection.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `julianDate` | JulianDate | The date to check.

  ##### Returns:

  `true` if the collection contains the specified date, `false` otherwise.

#### equals(right, dataComparer) → Boolean
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 145

  Compares this instance against the provided instance componentwise and returns `true` if they are equal, `false` otherwise.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `right` | TimeIntervalCollection | optional The right hand side collection.
  `dataComparer` | TimeInterval~DataComparer | optional A function which compares the data of the two intervals. If omitted, reference equality is used.

  ##### Returns:

  `true` if they are equal, `false` otherwise.

#### findDataForIntervalContainingDate(date) → Object
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 209

  Finds and returns the data for the interval that contains the specified date.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `date` | JulianDate | The date to search for.

  ##### Returns:

  The data for the interval containing the specified date, or `undefined` if no such interval exists.

#### findInterval(options) → TimeInterval
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 275

  Returns the first interval in the collection that matches the specified parameters. All parameters are optional and `undefined` parameters are treated as a don't care condition.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `options` | Object | optional Object with the following properties:
  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `start` | JulianDate | optional The start time of the interval.
  `stop` | JulianDate | optional The stop time of the interval.
  `isStartIncluded` | Boolean | optional `true` if `options.start` is included in the interval, `false` otherwise.
  `isStopIncluded` | Boolean | optional `true` if `options.stop` is included in the interval, `false` otherwise.

  ##### Returns:

  The first interval in the collection that matches the specified parameters.

#### findIntervalContainingDate(date) → TimeInterval|undefined
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 198

  Finds and returns the interval that contains the specified date.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `date` | JulianDate | The date to search for.

  ##### Returns:

  The interval containing the specified date, `undefined` if no such interval exists.

#### get(index) → TimeInterval
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 172

  Gets the interval at the specified index.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `index` | Number | The index of the interval to retrieve.

  ##### Returns:

  The interval at the specified index, or `undefined` if no interval exists as that index.

#### indexOf(date) → Number
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 235

  Finds and returns the index of the interval in the collection that contains the specified date.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `date` | JulianDate | The date to search for.

  ##### Returns:

  The index of the interval that contains the specified date, if no such interval exists, it returns a negative number which is the bitwise complement of the index of the next interval that starts after the date, or if no interval starts after the specified date, the bitwise complement of the length of the collection.

#### intersect(other, dataComparer, mergeCallback) → TimeIntervalCollection
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 599

  Creates a new instance that is the intersection of this collection and the provided collection.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `other` | TimeIntervalCollection | The collection to intersect with.
  `dataComparer` | TimeInterval~DataComparer | optional A function which compares the data of the two intervals. If omitted, reference equality is used.
  `mergeCallback` | TimeInterval~MergeCallback | optional A function which merges the data of the two intervals. If omitted, the data from the left interval will be used.

  ##### Returns:

  A new TimeIntervalCollection which is the intersection of this collection and the provided collection.

#### removeAll()
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 185

  Removes all intervals from the collection.

#### removeInterval(interval)
Core/TimeIntervalCollection.js 453

  Removes the specified interval from this interval collection, creating a hole over the specified interval. The data property of the input interval is ignored.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `interval` | TimeInterval | The interval to remove.

  ##### Returns:

  `true` if the interval was removed, `false` if no part of the interval was in the collection.
