Method Detail

isArray

public final boolean isArray()

Ask whether this function item is an array

Specified by:

isArray in interface Function

Returns:

true if this function item is an array, otherwise false

isMap

public final boolean isMap()

Ask whether this function item is a map

Specified by:

isMap in interface Function

Returns:

false (it is not a map)

get

public abstract GroundedValue get(int index)

Get a member of the array

Parameters:

index - the position of the member to retrieve (zero-based)

Returns:

the value at the given position.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range

put

public abstract ArrayItem put(int index,
                              GroundedValue newValue)

Replace a member of the array

Parameters:

index - the position of the member to replace (zero-based)

newValue - the replacement value

Returns:

the value at the given position.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range

arrayLength

public abstract int arrayLength()

Get the number of members in the array

Note: the method always returns 1, because an array is an item

Returns:

the number of members in this array.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Ask whether the array is empty

Returns:

true if and only if the size of the array is zero

members

public abstract java.lang.Iterable<GroundedValue> members()

Get the list of all members of the array

Returns:

an iterator over the members of the array

concat

public abstract ArrayItem concat(ArrayItem other)

Concatenate this array with another

Parameters:

other - the second array

Returns:

the concatenation of the two arrays; that is, an array containing first the members of this array, and then the members of the other array

remove

public abstract ArrayItem remove(int index)

Remove a member from the array

Parameters:

index - the position of the member to be removed (zero-based)

Returns:

a new array in which the requested member has been removed.

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is out of range

removeSeveral

public abstract ArrayItem removeSeveral(IntSet positions)

Remove zero or more members from the array

Parameters:

positions - the positions of the members to be removed (zero-based). A value that is out of range is ignored.

Returns:

a new array in which the requested member has been removed

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if any of the positions is out of range

subArray

public abstract ArrayItem subArray(int start,
                                   int end)

Get a sub-array given a start and end position

Parameters:

start - the start position (zero based)

end - the end position (the position of the first item not to be returned) (zero based)

Returns:

a new array item containing the sub-array

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if start, or start+end, is out of range

insert

public abstract ArrayItem insert(int position,
                                 GroundedValue member)

Insert a new member into an array

Parameters:

position - the 0-based position that the new item will assume

member - the new member to be inserted

Returns:

a new array item with the new member inserted

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if position is out of range

getMemberType

public abstract SequenceType getMemberType(TypeHierarchy th)

Get the lowest common item type of the members of the array

Returns:

the most specific type to which all the members belong.

toShortString

public java.lang.String toShortString()

Provide a short string showing the contents of the item, suitable for use in error messages

Specified by:

toShortString in interface Function

Specified by:

toShortString in interface GroundedValue

Specified by:

toShortString in interface Item

Returns:

a depiction of the item suitable for use in error messages

getGenre

public final Genre getGenre()

Get the genre of this item

Specified by:

getGenre in interface Function

Specified by:

getGenre in interface Item

Returns:

the genre: specifically, Genre.ARRAY.
