- org.graalvm.polyglot.SourceSection

```
public final class SourceSection
extends Object
```
Description of contiguous section of text within a Source of program code.; supports multiple modes of access to the text and its location. Two available source sections are considered equal if their sources, start and length are equal. Unavailable source sections are compared by identity. Source sections are designed to be used as keys in hash maps.

Since:

1.0

  - isAvailable
```
public boolean isAvailable()
```
    Returns whether this is a special instance that signifies that source information is available. Available source sections are never equal to unavailable source sections. Unavailable source sections return the same indices and lengths as empty source sections starting at character index 0.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getSource
```
public Source getSource()
```
    Representation of the source program that contains this section.
    
    Returns:
    
    the source object.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getStartLine
```
public int getStartLine()
```
    Returns 1-based line number of the first character in this section (inclusive). Returns 1 for out of bounds or unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method causes the code of the source to be loaded if it was not yet loaded.
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting line number.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getStartColumn
```
public int getStartColumn()
```
    Returns the 1-based column number of the first character in this section (inclusive). Returns 1 for out of bounds or unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method causes the code of the source to be loaded if it was not yet loaded.
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting column number.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getEndLine
```
public int getEndLine()
```
    Returns 1-based line number of the last character in this section (inclusive). Returns 1 for out of bounds or unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method causes the code of the source to be loaded if it was not yet loaded.
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting line number.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getEndColumn
```
public int getEndColumn()
```
    Returns the 1-based column number of the last character in this section (inclusive). Returns 1 for out of bounds or unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method causes the code of the source to be loaded if it was not yet loaded.
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting column number.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getCharIndex
```
public int getCharIndex()
```
    Returns the 0-based index of the first character in this section. Returns 0 for unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method does not cause the code of the source to be loaded. The returned index might be out of bounds of the source code if assertions (-ea) are not enabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting character index.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getCharLength
```
public int getCharLength()
```
    Returns the length of this section in characters. Returns 0 for unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method does not cause the code of the source to be loaded. The returned length might be out of bounds of the source code if assertions (-ea) are not enabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of characters in the section.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - getCharEndIndex
```
public int getCharEndIndex()
```
    Returns the index of the text position immediately following the last character in the section. Returns 0 for unavailable source sections. Note that calling this method does not cause the code of the source to be loaded. The returned index might be out of bounds of the source code if assertions (-ea) are not enabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the end position of the section.
    
    Since:
    
    0.8 or earlier
  - getCharacters
```
public CharSequence getCharacters()
```
    Returns the source code fragment described by this section. Returns an empty string for out of bounds or unavailable source sections.
    
    Returns:
    
    the code as a string.
    
    Since:
    
    1.0
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns an implementation-defined string representation of this source section to be used for debugging purposes only.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Since:
    
    1.0

```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Since:
    
    1.0 or earlier
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
