public class NumberFn
extends SystemFunction
implements ItemMappingFunction

Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

addDocToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addDocToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                              PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodes)

Add a representation of a doc() call or similar function to a PathMap. This is a convenience method called by the addToPathMap() methods for doc(), document(), collection() and similar functions. These all create a new root expression in the path map.

Overrides:

addDocToPathMap in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodes - the node in the PathMap representing the focus at the point where this expression is called. Set to null if this expression appears at the top level.

Returns:

the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

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

convert

public static DoubleValue convert(AtomicValue value)

Static method to perform the same conversion as the number() function. This is different from the convert(Type.DOUBLE) in that it produces NaN rather than an error for non-numeric operands.

Parameters:

value - the value to be converted

Returns:

the result of the conversion

map

public Item map(Item item)
         throws XPathException

Mapping function for use when converting a sequence of atomic values to doubles using the rules of the number() function

Specified by:

map in interface ItemMappingFunction

Parameters:

item - The input item to be mapped.

Returns:

either the output item, or null.

Throws:

XPathException
