CycleSegment (EngineBlock)

All Known Implementing Classes:

CycleArray.ArraySegment, InputInterval.Segment
```
public interface CycleSegment
```
A segment of cycle numbers to iterate over. Usage of an InputSegment is meant to be stack-local, or at least single threaded, so no precautions are needed to make it thread safe.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isExhausted()`
`long`	`nextCycle()`	The next cycle, which should be a positive number between 0 and Long.MAX_VALUE.
`default long[]`	`nextCycles(int len)`
`long`	`peekNextCycle()`	Return the value of the next cycle which would be returned by `nextCycle()`} without modifying the segment, or a negative number if the cycle range would be outside the valid range for this segment.

- Method Detail
  - nextCycle
```
long nextCycle()
```
    The next cycle, which should be a positive number between 0 and Long.MAX_VALUE. If a negative value is returned, then the caller should disregard the value and assume that any further input segments will be invalid.
    Implementations of this method should not worry about thread safety.
    
    Returns:
    
    a positive and valid long cycle, or a negative indicator of end of input
  - isExhausted
```
boolean isExhausted()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the input can provide no further cycles
  - nextCycles
```
default long[] nextCycles(int len)
```
  - peekNextCycle
```
long peekNextCycle()
```
    Return the value of the next cycle which would be returned by nextCycle()} without modifying the segment, or a negative number if the cycle range would be outside the valid range for this segment.
    
    Returns:
    
    the next cycle that will be returned
