6.2.8 Status functions

bool is_empty() const; 
bool is_whole() const; 
bool is_singleton() const; 
bool is_okay() const;

These functions return the status of the current interval k∈ KC  :

is_empty()


Whether the interval is empty k =∅  .

is_whole()


Whether the interval spans the whole complex space k̸= ∅∧ kr= ∞ .

is_whole()


Whether the interval refers to a single complex number. k ̸=∅ ∧kr =0  .

is_okay()


Whether the interval is properly defined, i.e. whether kr≥ 0  .
