Class SimpleAlphabet

Method Details

• iterator

  public Iterator iterator()

  Description copied from interface: FiniteAlphabet

  Retrieve an Iterator over the AtomicSymbols in this FiniteAlphabet.

  Each AtomicSymbol as for which this.contains(as) is true will be returned exactly once by this iterator in no specified order.

  Specified by:

  iterator in interface FiniteAlphabet

  Returns:

  an Iterator over the contained AtomicSymbol objects

• getName

  public String getName()

  Description copied from interface: Alphabet

  Get the name of the alphabet.

  Specified by:

  getName in interface Alphabet

  Returns:

  the name as a string.

• setName

  public void setName(String name)

  Assign a name to the alphabet

  Parameters:

  name - the name you wish to give this alphabet

• getAnnotation

  public Annotation getAnnotation()

  Description copied from interface: Annotatable

  Should return the associated annotation object.

  Specified by:

  getAnnotation in interface Annotatable

  Returns:

  an Annotation object, never null

• size

  public int size()

  Description copied from interface: FiniteAlphabet

  The number of symbols in the alphabet.

  Specified by:

  size in interface FiniteAlphabet

  Returns:

  the size of the alphabet

• containsImpl

  protected boolean containsImpl(AtomicSymbol s)

  Specified by:

  containsImpl in class AbstractAlphabet

• addSymbolImpl

  protected void addSymbolImpl(AtomicSymbol s) throws IllegalSymbolException, ChangeVetoException

  Specified by:

  addSymbolImpl in class AbstractAlphabet

  Throws:

  IllegalSymbolException

  ChangeVetoException

• removeSymbol

  public void removeSymbol(Symbol s) throws IllegalSymbolException

  Description copied from interface: FiniteAlphabet

  Remove a symbol from this alphabet.

  If the symbol matches multiple AtomicSymbols, then each matching symbol it will be removed.

  Specified by:

  removeSymbol in interface FiniteAlphabet

  Parameters:

  s - the Symbol to removeintGot

  Throws:

  IllegalSymbolException - if the symbol is null, or if for any reason it can't be removed

• getAlphabets

  public List getAlphabets()

  Description copied from interface: Alphabet

  Return an ordered List of the alphabets which make up a compound alphabet. For simple alphabets, this will return a singleton list of itself. The returned list should be immutable.

  Specified by:

  getAlphabets in interface Alphabet

  Returns:

  a List of alphabets

• getSymbolImpl

  protected AtomicSymbol getSymbolImpl(List symL) throws IllegalSymbolException

  Specified by:

  getSymbolImpl in class AbstractAlphabet

  Throws:

  IllegalSymbolException

• getChangeSupport

  protected ChangeSupport getChangeSupport(ChangeType ct)

  Description copied from class: AbstractChangeable

  Called to retrieve the ChangeSupport for this object.

  Your implementation of this method should have the following structure:

   ChangeSupport cs = super.getChangeSupport(ct);
  
   if(someForwarder == null && ct.isMatching(SomeInterface.SomeChangeType)) {
     someForwarder = new ChangeForwarder(...
  
     this.stateVariable.addChangeListener(someForwarder, VariableInterface.AChange);
   }
  
   return cs;
   

  It is usual for the forwarding listeners (someForwarder in this example) to be transient and lazily instantiated. Be sure to register & unregister the forwarder in the code that does the ChangeEvent handling in setter methods.

  Overrides:

  getChangeSupport in class AbstractChangeable
