Class VariableDeclarationsCompositor

java.lang.Object

weka.core.expressionlanguage.common.VariableDeclarationsCompositor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, VariableDeclarations

public class VariableDeclarationsCompositor
extends Object
implements VariableDeclarations

A helper class that allows to combine several variable declarations together.

It can be thought of as layering several scopes over one another.

It will delegate the hasVariable(String) and getVariable(String) methods to other variable declarations.

Each variable declaration combined is checked in sequential order.

No checks for conflicts are done. Thus shadowing is possible.

The order of the declarations will determine the order of checking the declarations for variables.

Parameters:

declarations - the declarations being combined

Method Details

hasVariable

public boolean hasVariable(String name)

Whether the variable is contained in one of the combined declarations.

Specified by:

hasVariable in interface VariableDeclarations

Parameters:

name - name of the variable

Returns:

whether the variable is contained in one of the combined declarations

getVariable

public Node getVariable(String name)

Tries to fetch a variable from one of the combined declarations.

The same invariant of VariableDeclarations applies here too.

getVariable in interface VariableDeclarations

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable to be fetched
