Constructor Detail

GeneralComparisonEE

public GeneralComparisonEE(Expression p0,
                           int op,
                           Expression p1)
Create a relational expression identifying the two operands and the operator

Parameters:
p0 - the left-hand operand
op - the operator, as a token returned by the Tokenizer (e.g. Token.LT)
p1 - the right-hand operand
Method Detail

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException
Description copied from class: GeneralComparison
Optimize the expression

Overrides:
optimize in class GeneralComparison
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
Returns:
the checked expression
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression in a boolean context

Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue in class GeneralComparison
Parameters:
context - the given context for evaluation
Returns:
a boolean representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getInverseComparison

protected GeneralComparison getInverseComparison()
Overrides:
getInverseComparison in class GeneralComparison

explainExtraAttributes

protected void explainExtraAttributes(ExpressionPresenter out)
Description copied from class: BinaryExpression
Add subclass-specific attributes to the expression tree explanation. Default implementation does nothing; this is provided for subclasses to override.

Overrides:
explainExtraAttributes in class GeneralComparison
Parameters:
out - the output destination for the displayed expression tree
