Constructor Detail

SecondOrderEquality

public SecondOrderEquality(SetDenotator first,
                           SetDenotator second)

Initialize a new equality, involving two set denotators.

Parameters:

first - The first variable.

second - The second variable.

Precondition:

Both variables have to be effective.

| first != null && second != null

Postcondition:

The first variable is given to the first given variable.

| new.getFirstVariable() == first

Postcondition:

The second variable is given to the second given variable.

| new.getSecondVariable() == second

Method Detail

getFirstVariable

public SetDenotator getFirstVariable()

Returns the first variable.

Returns:

This is the first second order variable.

| result == getVariableAt(0)

getSecondVariable

public SetDenotator getSecondVariable()

Returns the second variable.

Returns:

This is the second second order variable.

| result == getVariableAt(0)

getNbVariables

public int getNbVariables()

Returns the number of variables in this formula.

Returns:

Always 2.

| result == 2

getFirstIndexOf

public int getFirstIndexOf(Variable var)

Get the first index at which the given variable occurs.

Parameters:

var - The variable of which the index is wanted.

getVariableAt

public Variable getVariableAt(int index)
                       throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

Get the indexth variable (free or bound).

Parameters:

index - The index of the wanted variable

containsVariable

public boolean containsVariable(Variable var)

Returns whether this formula contains the given variable.

Parameters:

var - The variable to check.

getPredicates

public Set<Predicate> getPredicates()

Return all predicates in this formula.

Returns:

Both variables can be a predicate.

| if ( getFirstVariable() instanceof Predicate ) | then
         result.contains(getFirstVariable())
| if ( getSecondVariable() instanceof Predicate ) | then
         result.contains(getSecondVariable())

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

Overrides:

equals in class FormulaImpl

Returns:

Two equalities are equal if they compare the same variables.

| let otherEquals = (SecondOrderEquality)
         other in
| if ( otherEquals.getFirstVariable() != getFirstVariable() ) | then result == false | else if (
         otherEquals.getSecondVariable() != getSecondVariable() )
| then result == false | else result == true

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Specified by:

hashCode in class FormulaImpl

Returns:

The hash code is based on the hash codes of the variables and of the characteristic symbol.

| result ==
         getFirstVariable().hashCode() + "=".hashCode() + getSecondVariable().hashCode()

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Specified by:

toString in class FormulaImpl

Returns:

The string representations of the variables are given, with the equal sign: = in between them.

| result ==
         getFirstVariable().toString() + "=" + getSecondVariable().toString()

accept

public void accept(FormulaVisitor visitor)
            throws de.uni_tuebingen.sfb.lichtenstein.exceptions.VisitorException

Accept a formula visitor. The iteration is done by the visitor, not by the composed formulas.

Specified by:

accept in interface Visitable

Overrides:

accept in class FormulaImpl

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor that is to be accepted to do its work.

Throws:

VisitorException

A visitor can throw an exception.
