## Overview

The **`is()`** is a #key# static: the methods in Java that can be called without creating an object of the class. #key# method of the `Range` class in Java - which is used to obtain a `Range` object using the specified element as both the minimum and maximum in the range. 

>The class of the element has to implement the `Comparable` interface.

# 
## How to import `Range`

The definition of `Range` can be found in the `Apache Commons Lang` package, which we can add to the Maven project by adding the following dependency to the `pom.xml` file:

---

``` xml
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
            <version>3.12.0</version>
</dependency>
```

---

> For other versions of the commons-lang package, refer to the [Maven Repository](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-lang3).

You can import the `Range` class as follows:

---

```
import org.apache.commons.lang3.Range;
```

## Syntax

---

``` java
public static <T extends Comparable<T>> Range<T> is(final T element)
```

---

## Parameters 

- `final T element`: The element to use as the maximum and minimum value.

## Return value

This method returns a `Range` object.

import org.apache.commons.lang3.Range;

public class Main{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int element = 100;
        Range<Integer> range = Range.is(element);
        System.out.printf("Range object - %s\n", range);
    }
}

## Explanation

- In line 3, we define the `Main` class.
- In line 5, we define the `main` method.
- In line 6, we define the element to be used as the maximum and minimum value for the `Range` object.
- In line 7, we obtain a `Range` object using the `is()` method.
- In line 8, we print the object to the console.

## Output

The output of the code will be as follows:

---

```
Range object - [100..100]
```
