        public Minimax()
    • Method Detail

      • isMaxFunction

        public abstract boolean isMaxFunction()
        Method to be implemented in subclasses to indicate whether the function implements fn:min() or fn:max()
        Returns:
        true if this is the fn:max() function
      • setIgnoreNaN

        public void setIgnoreNaN​(boolean ignore)
        Indicate whether NaN values should be ignored. For the external min() and max() function, a NaN value in the input causes the result to be NaN. Internally, however, min() and max() are also used in such a way that NaN values should be ignored. This is the case for internally-generated min() and max() functions used to support general comparisons.
        Parameters:
        ignore - true if NaN values are to be ignored when computing the min or max.
      • isIgnoreNaN

        public boolean isIgnoreNaN()
        Test whether NaN values are to be ignored
        Returns:
        true if NaN values are to be ignored. This is the case for internally-generated min() and max() functions used to support general comparisons

        public void exportAttributes​(ExpressionPresenter out)
        Description copied from class: SystemFunction

      • getStreamerName

        public java.lang.String getStreamerName()
        Description copied from class: SystemFunction
        Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.
        Overrides:
        getStreamerName in class SystemFunction
        Returns:
        a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is defined in the Saxon-EE class StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
