Constructor Detail

Numeric.Range

public Numeric.Range(Numeric min,
                     Numeric max)
              throws ArgumentError
Construct a Numeric range constraint from two Numeric constraints. Range comparisons come in four flavors, where n represents the feature values that must satisify the inequality: Here are the rules: All other combinations will cause an ArgumentError exception to be thrown.
Parameters:
min - value for left side of the inequality
max - value for right side of the inequality
Throws:
ArgumentError - for invalid min/max values
Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()
Get the value associated with this constraint. Overrides Constraint.getValue()
Overrides:
getValue in class Constraint
Returns:
Object value associated with this constraint

matches

public boolean matches(Constraint c)
Determine whether this Constraint matches another.
Overrides:
matches in class Constraint
Parameters:
c - Constraint to be matched against this
Returns:
true if the two constraints are of the same type and have identical fields except for their flags and label, else false.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Serialize this constraint using the OneStep serialization format. Overrides Object.toString()
Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
OneStep serialization String of this constraint

getConstraintSubType

public java.lang.String getConstraintSubType()
Determine subType representation of the non-range inequality constraints
Overrides:
getConstraintSubType in class Constraint
Returns:
subType - op, the values to return is: ""

newInstance

public static Constraint newInstance(java.lang.String state)
                              throws ArgumentError
Attempt to create a new Numeric.Range constraint from a OneStep serialization String.
Parameters:
state - OneStep serialization String
Returns:
deserialized Constraint instance
Throws:
ArgumentError -
