Method Detail

• getParser

  ExpressionParser getParser()

  Gets the parser used when evaluating expressions.

• isStrict

  boolean isStrict()

  Gets whether the evaluator is operating in strict mode.

  See Also:

  setStrict(boolean)

• setStrict

  void setStrict(boolean strict)

  Sets whether the evaluator is operating in strict mode. Evaluators operate in strict mode by default.

  When evaluating strictly, usage of an unassigned variable token in a place where its value is needed will generate an IllegalArgumentException with an "Unknown variable" message; in non-strict mode, such a variable will instead be resolved to an object of type Unresolved with the same name as the original variable.

  In cases such as assignment, this may be sufficient to complete the evaluation; for example, the expression foo=bar will complete successfully in non-strict mode, with the variable foo containing an object of type Unresolved and token value "bar". But in cases where the unresolved value is needed as an input for additional operations, the evaluation may still ultimately fail of the operation in question is not defined for unresolved values. For example, the DefaultEvaluator will fail with an "Unsupported binary operator" exception when given the expression foo+bar, since foo and bar are unresolved variables, and the + operator cannot handle such objects.

• evaluate

  Object evaluate(String expression)

  Evaluates the given infix expression, returning the result.

• evaluate

  Object evaluate(LinkedList<Object> queue)

  Evaluates the given postfix token queue, returning the result.

• evaluate

  Object evaluate(SyntaxTree syntaxTree)

  Evaluates the given syntax tree, returning the result.

• value

  Object value(Object token)

  Gets the value of the given token. For variables, returns the value of the variable, throwing an exception if the variable is not set. For literals, returns the token itself.

• get

  Object get(Variable v)

  Gets the value of the given variable.

• set

  void set(Variable v,
           Object value)

  Sets the value of the given variable.

• setAll

  void setAll(Map<? extends String,? extends Object> map)

  Assigns variables en masse.
