Package com.singularsys.extensions.chained

Class ChainedBinaryFunction

java.lang.Object

com.singularsys.jep.functions.PostfixMathCommand

com.singularsys.extensions.chained.ChainedBinaryFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChainedFunctionI, DirtyFunction, JepComponent, PostfixMathCommandI, Serializable

public class ChainedBinaryFunction
extends PostfixMathCommand
implements ChainedFunctionI, JepComponent, DirtyFunction

Converts a BinaryFunction so it can be used in a chain. A binary function f(x,y) will be converted to a unary function F(x) can be used in the middle of a chain as

[1..10] . F(5) . fold([x,y]=>x+y) 

The apply(Evaluator, Node, Object) method will first evaluate the child of the node then call the binary function f(x,y) with the first argument from the child and the second argument from the chain.

Method Details

apply

public Object apply(Evaluator ev,
 Node node,
 Object lhs)
             throws EvaluationException

Description copied from interface: ChainedFunctionI

Evaluate a chained function using an additional argument.

Specified by:

apply in interface ChainedFunctionI

Parameters:

ev - the evaluator

node - top node of function

lhs - additional argument from previous element in the chain

Returns:

Throws:

EvaluationException

init

public void init(Jep jep)

Description copied from interface: JepComponent

Initialize the component. This method is called whenever a component is added to Jep. Hence, it allows components to keep track of the other components they may rely on.

Specified by:

init in interface JepComponent

Parameters:

jep - the current Jep instance

getLightWeightInstance

public JepComponent getLightWeightInstance()

Description copied from interface: JepComponent

Gets a light-weight instance suitable for using in multiple threads.

Specified by:

getLightWeightInstance in interface JepComponent

Returns:

either a new instance, null or 'this'.

getInner

public BinaryFunction getInner()

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from class: PostfixMathCommand

Return a description of the function from the properties file. The property name is the class name followed by ".description". The property is found using the JepMessages class, which can be configured to add additional properties files. If PostfixMathCommand.setDescription(String) has been called, return the description set by that method instead.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface PostfixMathCommandI

Overrides:

getDescription in class PostfixMathCommand

Returns:

the description of the function
