    public abstract class SnowballProgram

extends Object

This is the rev 502 of the Snowball SVN trunk, but modified: made abstract and introduced abstract method stem to avoid expensive reflection in filter class. refactored StringBuffers to StringBuilder uses char[] as buffer instead of StringBuffer/StringBuilder eq_s,eq_s_b,insert,replace_s take CharSequence like eq_v and eq_v_b reflection calls (Lovins, etc) use EMPTY_ARGS/EMPTY_PARAMS

Field Detail

### cursor

    protected int cursor

### limit

    protected int limit

### limit_backward

    protected int limit_backward

### bra

    protected int bra

### ket

    protected int ket

Constructor Detail

### SnowballProgram

    protected SnowballProgram()

Method Detail

### stem

    public abstract boolean stem()

### setCurrent

    public void setCurrent(String value)

  Set the current string.

### getCurrent

    public String getCurrent()

  Get the current string.

### setCurrent

    public void setCurrent(char[] text,
                           int length)

  Set the current string.

  Parameters:
    `text` - character array containing input
    `length` - valid length of text.

### getCurrentBuffer

    public char[] getCurrentBuffer()

  Get the current buffer containing the stem.

  NOTE: this may be a reference to a different character array than the one originally provided with setCurrent, in the exceptional case that stemming produced a longer intermediate or result string.

  It is necessary to use `getCurrentBufferLength()` to determine the valid length of the returned buffer. For example, many words are stemmed simply by subtracting from the length to remove suffixes.

  See Also:
    `getCurrentBufferLength()`

### getCurrentBufferLength

    public int getCurrentBufferLength()

  Get the valid length of the character array in `getCurrentBuffer()`.

  Returns:
    valid length of the array.
