Rank

The Rank class represents a row on a chessboard, ranging from 1 to 8. It provides methods for manipulating and querying rank values, performing arithmetic operations, and validating ranges.

Overview

• A rank is represented by an integer (1 to 8).

• Provides utility methods for arithmetic operations, comparisons, and range validation.

Arithmetic Operations

• Addition: You can add an integer to a rank, resulting in a new rank shifted by the given amount.

• Subtraction: You can subtract an integer from a rank, resulting in a new rank shifted by the given amount.

• These operations are useful for calculating neighboring ranks or iterating over ranks programmatically.

Example Usage

val rank = Rank(5)
val nextRank = rank + 1 // Rank(6)
val isEqual = rank.isEqualTo(5) // true
