Method Details

getMatcher

IntPredicate getMatcher(NodeVectorTree tree)

Get a matching function that can be used to test whether numbered nodes in a TinyTree or DominoTree satisfy the node test. (Calling this matcher must give the same result as calling matchesNode(tree.getNode(nodeNr)), but it may well be faster).

Parameters:

tree - the tree against which the returned function will operate

Returns:

an IntPredicate; the matches() method of this predicate takes a node number as input, and returns true if and only if the node identified by this node number matches the node predicate.
