Class
Common
```kotlin
value class TextRange internal constructor(private val packedValue: Long)
```
An immutable text range class, represents a text range from `start` (inclusive) to `end`
(exclusive). `end` can be smaller than `start` and in those cases `min` and `max` can be used in
order to fetch the values.
## Properties
Common
```kotlin
val start: Int
```
Common
```kotlin
val end: Int
```
Common
```kotlin
val min: Int
```
The minimum offset of the range.
Common
```kotlin
val max: Int
```
The maximum offset of the range.
Common
```kotlin
val collapsed: Boolean
```
Returns true if the range is collapsed
Common
```kotlin
val reversed: Boolean
```
Returns true if the start offset is larger than the end offset.
Common
```kotlin
val length: Int
```
Returns the length of the range.
## Functions
```kotlin
fun intersects(other: TextRange): Boolean
```
Returns true if the given range has intersection with this range
```kotlin
operator fun contains(other: TextRange): Boolean
```
Returns true if this range covers including equals with the given range.
```kotlin
operator fun contains(offset: Int): Boolean
```
Returns true if the given offset is a part of this range.
