Class EvaluatorVisitor

java.lang.Object
  org.jscience.ml.sbml.jep.EvaluatorVisitor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ParserVisitor

public class EvaluatorVisitor
extends java.lang.Object
implements ParserVisitor

This class is used for the evaluation of an expression. It uses the Visitor design pattern to traverse the function tree and evaluate the expression using a stack.

Function nodes are evaluated by first evaluating all the children nodes, then applying the function class associated with the node. Variable and constant nodes are evaluated by pushing their value onto the stack.

Constructor Summary

EvaluatorVisitor()
Constructor.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	getValue(Node topNode, java.util.Vector errorList_in) Returns the value of the expression as an object.
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTConstant node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTElseIfThen node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTElse node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTFunNode node, java.lang.Object data) Visit a function node.
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTIfThen node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTPiecewise node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTStart node, java.lang.Object data) This method should never be called when evaluating a normal expression.
java.lang.Object	visit(ASTVarNode node, java.lang.Object data) DOCUMENT ME!
java.lang.Object	visit(SimpleNode node, java.lang.Object data) This method should never be called when evaluation a normal expression.

Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(Node topNode,
                                 java.util.Vector errorList_in)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

Returns the value of the expression as an object. The expression tree is specified with its top node. The algorithm uses a stack for evaluation.

The errorList_in parameter is used to add error information that may occur during the evaluation. It is not required, and may be set to null if no error information is needed.

The symTab parameter can be null, if no variables are expected in the expression. If a variable is found, an error is added to the error list.

An exception is thrown, if an error occurs during evaluation.

Returns:

The value of the expression as an object.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

visit

public java.lang.Object visit(SimpleNode node,
                              java.lang.Object data)

This method should never be called when evaluation a normal expression.

Specified by:

visit in interface ParserVisitor

Parameters:

node - DOCUMENT ME!

data - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

visit

public java.lang.Object visit(ASTStart node,
                              java.lang.Object data)

This method should never be called when evaluating a normal expression.

Specified by:

visit in interface ParserVisitor

Parameters:

node - DOCUMENT ME!

data - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

visit

public java.lang.Object visit(ASTFunNode node,
                              java.lang.Object data)

Visit a function node. The values of the child nodes are first pushed onto the stack. Then the function class associated with the node is used to evaluate the function.

Specified by:

visit in interface ParserVisitor

Parameters:

node - DOCUMENT ME!

data - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!
