Method Detail
-
getInstance
public static EmptySequence getInstance()
Get the implicit instance of this class
-
iterate
public SequenceIterator iterate()
Return an iteration over the sequence
-
asItem
public Item asItem()
Return the value in the form of an Item
-
getItemType
public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the item type- Overrides:
getItemType
in classValue
- Parameters:
th
- the type hierarchy cache- Returns:
- for the default implementation: AnyItemType (not known)
-
getCardinality
public int getCardinality()
Determine the static cardinality- Overrides:
getCardinality
in classValue
- Returns:
- the cardinality
-
getLength
public final int getLength()
Get the length of the sequence
-
equals
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
Is this expression the same as another expression?
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()
- Overrides:
hashCode
in classjava.lang.Object
-
effectiveBooleanValue
public boolean effectiveBooleanValue()
Get the effective boolean value - always false- Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue
in classValue
- Returns:
- the effective boolean value
-
itemAt
public Item itemAt(int n)
Get the n'th item in the sequence (starting from 0). This is defined for all Values, but its real benefits come for a sequence Value stored extensionally (or for a MemoClosure, once all the values have been read)- Specified by:
itemAt
in interfaceGroundedValue
- Overrides:
itemAt
in classValue
- Parameters:
n
- position of the required item, counting from zero.- Returns:
- the n'th item in the sequence, where the first item in the sequence is numbered zero. If n is negative or >= the length of the sequence, returns null.
-
subsequence
public GroundedValue subsequence(int min, int length)
Get a subsequence of the value- Specified by:
subsequence
in interfaceGroundedValue
- Parameters:
min
- the index of the first item to be included in the result, counting from zero. A negative value is taken as zero. If the value is beyond the end of the sequence, an empty sequence is returnedlength
- the number of items to be included in the result. Specify Integer.MAX_VALUE to get the subsequence up to the end of the base sequence. If the value is negative, an empty sequence is returned. If the value goes off the end of the sequence, the result returns items up to the end of the sequence- Returns:
- the required subsequence. If min is
