Class Equation

java.lang.Object
  org.cytoscape.equations.Equation

public final class Equation
extends Object

The class representing an equation.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (Final Class): This class is final and therefore can't be extended by users. This means that we may add methods for minor version updates. Methods will only be removed for major version updates.

Constructor Summary

Equation(String equation, Set<String> variableReferences, Map<String,Object> defaultVariableValues, Object[] code, int[] sourceLocations, Class<?> type)
Constructs an Equation.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object other) Compares one Equation to another.
Object[]	getCode() Returns the compiled code (not Java byte code!) for the VM representing this Equation.
Map<String,Object>	getDefaultVariableValues() Returns default values for variable references, if any.
int[]	getSourceLocations() Returns the starting points in the original equation for each node in the parse tree that resulted from the original equation.
Class<?>	getType() The overall type of the Equation, e.g.
Set<String>	getVariableReferences() Returns all the variable references that occur as part if this Equation.
int	hashCode()
String	toString() Returns a textual representation of an Equation.

Constructor Detail

Equation

public Equation(String equation,
                Set<String> variableReferences,
                Map<String,Object> defaultVariableValues,
                Object[] code,
                int[] sourceLocations,
                Class<?> type)

Constructs an Equation.

Parameters:

equation - the string representing this equation

variableReferences - other variables that are referenced by this equation

defaultVariableValues -

code - the instruction sequence representing the compiled equation

sourceLocations - the starting points in the original equation for each node in the parse tree that resulted from the original equation

type - the type of the equation, String.class, Boolean.class or Double.class

Method Detail

toString

public String toString()

Returns a textual representation of an Equation.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

this Equation as a String

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Compares one Equation to another.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Returns:

true if this Equation is equivalent to "other" and else returns false

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getVariableReferences

public Set<String> getVariableReferences()

Returns all the variable references that occur as part if this Equation.

Returns:

a set of variables referenced by this Equation

getDefaultVariableValues

public Map<String,Object> getDefaultVariableValues()

Returns default values for variable references, if any.

Returns:

a map of variable names to their default values, if any

getCode

public Object[] getCode()

Returns the compiled code (not Java byte code!) for the VM representing this Equation.

Returns:

the code representing this Equation

getSourceLocations

public int[] getSourceLocations()

Returns the starting points in the original equation for each node in the parse tree that resulted from the original equation. (Potentially useful for writing a debugger.)

Returns:

all the starting points in the original equation that resulted in parse tree nodes

getType

public Class<?> getType()

The overall type of the Equation, e.g. Long.class, String.class etc.

Returns:

the type of this
