Constructor Details

CoreOperationRelationalExpression

protected CoreOperationRelationalExpression(Expression[] args)

Constructs a new CoreOperationRelationalExpression.

Parameters:

args - arguments

Method Details

computeValue

public final Object computeValue(EvalContext context)

Description copied from class: Expression

Evaluates the expression. If the result is a node set, returns the first element of the node set.

Specified by:

computeValue in class CoreOperation

Parameters:

context - evaluation context

Returns:

Object

evaluateCompare

protected abstract boolean evaluateCompare(int compare)

Template method for subclasses to evaluate the result of a comparison.

Parameters:

compare - result of comparison to evaluate

Returns:

ultimate operation success/failure

getPrecedence

protected final int getPrecedence()

Description copied from class: CoreOperation

Computes the precedence of the operation.

Specified by:

getPrecedence in class CoreOperation

Returns:

int precedence

isSymmetric

protected final boolean isSymmetric()

Description copied from class: CoreOperation

Returns true if the operation is not sensitive to the order of arguments, e.g. "=", "and" etc, and false if it is, e.g. "<=", "div".

Specified by:

isSymmetric in class CoreOperation

Returns:

boolean
