Constructor Detail

GeneralComparisonEE

public GeneralComparisonEE(Expression p0,
                           int op,
                           Expression p1)

Create a relational expression identifying the two operands and the operator

Parameters:

p0 - the left-hand operand

op - the operator, as a token returned by the Tokenizer (e.g. Token.LT)

p1 - the right-hand operand

Method Detail

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: GeneralComparison

Optimize the expression

Overrides:

optimize in class GeneralComparison

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the checked expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

copy

public Expression copy()

Description copied from class: GeneralComparison

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Overrides:

copy in class GeneralComparison

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression in a boolean context

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class GeneralComparison

Parameters:

context - the given context for evaluation

Returns:

a boolean representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getInverseComparison

protected GeneralComparison getInverseComparison()

Overrides:

getInverseComparison in class GeneralComparison

explainExtraAttributes

protected void explainExtraAttributes(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: BinaryExpression

Add subclass-specific attributes to the expression tree explanation. Default implementation does nothing; this is provided for subclasses to override.

Overrides:

explainExtraAttributes in class GeneralComparison

Parameters:

out - the output destination for the displayed expression tree
