public class LE

extends Function

	BOOLEAN LE(<typeX> lvalue, <typeX> rvalue)
 

LE is a generic function that tests if the first argument is less than or equal to the second argument. LE needs to be Type instantiated during construction to work with particular argument Types. The supported argument Types include BYTE, SHORT, INT, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE, CHAR and BOOLEAN.

Constructor Detail

LE

public LE(Type argTypes)

Constructs a LE Function that works with the specified Type. The supported Types include BYTE, SHORT, INT, LONG, FLOAT and DOUBLE.

Parameters:

type - The Type of this LE Function.

Method Detail

evaluateBoolean

public final boolean evaluateBoolean(Individual i,
                                     Gene[] arguments)
                              throws EvaluationException

Used to execute the LE test for arguments of any of the supported Types.

Parameters:

i - The individual being evaluated.

arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be tested.

Returns:

A boolean whose value is true if the first argument is LE to the second argument, and false otherwise.

Throws:

EvaluationException - If there is an evaluation failure.

Overrides:

evaluateBoolean in class Function

instance

public final Primitive instance()

Creates an instance of this LE object. The Type instantiation is preserved so that if an INT LE is being cloned, the clone will also be INT instantiated.

Returns:

A reference to this Object (yes the same object, since the type information is to be the same, there are therefore no instance variables to be modified.

Overrides:

instance in class Primitive

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this Function.

Returns:

A String containing the name of the Function.

Overrides:

toString in class Primitive
