# Group Position Calculation
Position calculation functions.

## Grouped Function Overview

- `TPos posAdd(pos, delta);`
  Returns a position where the local offset is increased by a value `delta`.
- `bool posAddAndCheck(pos, delta, text);`
  Increases the local offset of a position by a value `delta` and check for overflow.
- `void posInc(pos);`
  Increments the local offset of a position type.
- `TPos posNext(pos);`
  Returns a position where the local offset is increased by one.
- `TPos posPrev(pos);`
  Returns a position where the local offset is decreased by one.
- `TPos posSub(pos, delta);`
  Returns a position where the local offset is decreased by a value `delta`.

## Grouped Functions Detail

### `TPos posAdd(pos, delta);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Returns a position where the local offset is increased by a value `delta`.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`.
`delta` | Increase the local offset of `pos` by this value.

#### Returns

`TPos` | Returns a value of the same type as `pos` where `seqOfs` is increased by `delta`.

#### Data Races

Thread safety unknown!

- posInc
- posNext
- posPrev

### `bool posAddAndCheck(pos, delta, text);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Increases the local offset of a position by a value `delta` and check for overflow.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`.
`delta` | Increase the local offset of `pos` by this value.
`text` | The text to use for checking.

#### Data Races

- posInc

### `void posInc(pos);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Increments the local offset of a position type.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`. In both cases, `seqOfs` will be incremented by one.

#### Data Races

### `TPos posNext(pos);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Returns a position where the local offset is increased by one.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`.

#### Returns

`TPos` | Returns a value of the same type as `pos` where `seqOfs` is increased by one.

#### Data Races

### `TPos posPrev(pos);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Returns a position where the local offset is decreased by one.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`.

#### Returns

`TPos` | The predecessor. TPos is the type of `pos`.

#### Data Races

Thread safety unknown!

- posAdd
- posInc
- posNext

### `TPos posSub(pos, delta);`

Defined in
  <seqan/sequence.h>

Returns a position where the local offset is decreased by a value `delta`.

#### Parameters

`pos` | A position type, an integer with `seqOfs` or a pair `(seqNo, seqOfs)`.
`delta` | Decrease the local offset of `pos` by this value.

#### Returns

`TPos` | Returns a value of the same type as `pos` where `seqOfs` is decreased by `delta`.
