Method Detail

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException
Static analysis: prevent sorting of the argument

Overrides:
checkArguments in class SystemFunction
Parameters:
visitor - the expression visitor
Throws:
XPathException

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the item type of the value returned by the function

Overrides:
getItemType in class SystemFunction
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()
Determine the cardinality of the function.

Overrides:
computeCardinality in class SystemFunction
Returns:
the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate the function

Specified by:
evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
Overrides:
evaluateItem in class Expression
Parameters:
context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
Returns:
the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

total

public static AtomicValue total(SequenceIterator iter,
                                XPathContext context,
                                SourceLocator location)
                         throws XPathException
Calculate the total of a sequence.

Parameters:
iter - iterator over the items to be totalled
context - the XPath dynamic context
location - location of the expression in the source for diagnostics
Returns:
the total, according to the rules of the XPath sum() function, but returning null if the sequence is empty. (It's then up to the caller to decide what the correct result is for an empty sequence.
Throws:
XPathException

average

public static AtomicValue average(SequenceIterator iter,
                                  XPathContext context,
                                  SourceLocator location)
                           throws XPathException
Calculate average

Parameters:
iter - iterator over the items to be totalled
context - the XPath dynamic context
location - location of the expression in the source for diagnostics
Returns:
the average of the values
Throws:
XPathException

count

public static int count(SequenceIterator iter)
                 throws XPathException
Get the number of items in a sequence identified by a SequenceIterator

Parameters:
iter - The SequenceIterator. This method moves the current position of the supplied iterator; if this isn't safe, make a copy of the iterator first by calling getAnother(). The supplied iterator must be positioned before the first item (there must have been no call on next()).
Returns:
the number of items in the underlying sequence
Throws:
XPathException - if a failure occurs reading the input sequence

isCountFunction

public static boolean isCountFunction(Expression exp)
Determine whether a given expression is a call to the count() function

Parameters:
exp - an expression to be examined
Returns:
true if the expression is a call to the count() function
