How do I specify a RangeLocation?

In BioJava a RangeLocation is an object that holds the minimum and maximum bounds of a region on a SymbolList or Sequence. The minimum and maximum are inclusive.

The following example demonstrates the use of a RangeLocation.

import org.biojava.bio.symbol.*;
import org.biojava.bio.seq.*;
 
public class SpecifyRange {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      //make a RangeLocation specifying the residues 3-8
      Location loc = LocationTools.makeLocation(3,8);
      //print the location
      System.out.println("Location: "+loc.toString());
 
      //make a SymbolList
      SymbolList sl = RNATools.createRNA("gcagcuaggcggaaggagc");
      System.out.println("SymbolList: "+sl.seqString());
 
      //get the SymbolList specified by the Location
      SymbolList sym = loc.symbols(sl);
      System.out.println("Symbols specified by Location: "+sym.seqString());
    }
    catch (IllegalSymbolException ex) {
      //illegal symbol used to make sl
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
