Constructor Detail

AbstractVariable

public AbstractVariable(java.lang.String name,
                        IDatatype type,
                        IModelElement parent)

Constructor for decision variable declaration.

Parameters:

name - Name of the decision variable declaration

type - type of the new VariableDeclaration

parent - the object, in which this specific one is embedded

AbstractVariable

public AbstractVariable(java.lang.String name,
                        IDatatype type,
                        Value defaultValue,
                        IModelElement parent)

Constructor for explicit variable creation.

Parameters:

name - Name of the decision variable declaration

type - type of the new VariableDeclaration

defaultValue - the default value (may be null)

parent - the object, in which this specific one is embedded

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)
              throws ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException

Defines the default value. Note that this method provides exactly one value, not multiple as required in case of containers or compounds.

Parameters:

value - the default value.

Throws:

ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException - if one of the default values do not comply to the respective types

setValue

public void setValue(ConstraintSyntaxTree value)
              throws ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException,
                     CSTSemanticException

Defines the default value.

Parameters:

value - the default value.

Throws:

ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException - if one of the default values do not comply to the respective types

CSTSemanticException - in case of type resolution errors

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object... values)
              throws ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException

Defines (possible multiple) default value(s).

Parameters:

values - the (possible) multiple values

Throws:

ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException - if one of the default values do not comply to the respective types

getDefaultValue

public ConstraintSyntaxTree getDefaultValue()

Getter for the value.

Returns:

the value

getType

public IDatatype getType()

Returns the type of this variable.

Returns:

the type of this variable

isSame

public boolean isSame(AbstractVariable var)

Returns whether two variables are considered as being the same (same name/type). Please consider that this method does not check for the scope, e.g., whether they are in the same compound.

Parameters:

var - the variable to check for

Returns:

true if they are equal, false else

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

isTemporaryVariable

public abstract boolean isTemporaryVariable()

Returns whether this decision variable declaration is used as a temporary variable (in constraints, i.e. the parent is a constraint).

Returns:

true if it is a temporary variable, false if it is a defined variable in the model

constraintsChanged

public void constraintsChanged()

Description copied from interface: IDerivedDatatypeListener

Causes the DecisionVariableDeclaration to generate new internal constraints based on the new constraints stored inside the DerivedDatatype .

Specified by:

constraintsChanged in interface IDerivedDatatypeListener

isAttribute

public abstract boolean isAttribute()

Returns whether this variable is an attribute.

Returns:

true if it is an attribute, false else

isConstant

public abstract boolean isConstant()

Returns whether this variable is a constant.

Returns:

true for constant, false else
