Constructor Detail

PartialDerivative

protected PartialDerivative(DVariable var,
                            java.lang.String[] derivnames)

Protected constructor, should only be constructed through the findDerivative method in DVariable.

PartialDerivative

protected PartialDerivative(DVariable var,
                            java.lang.String[] derivnames,

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from class: Variable

Returns the variable name.

Overrides:

getName in class Variable

Returns:

the variable name.

getRoot

public DVariable getRoot()

Every partial derivative has a root variable for instance the root variable of dy/dx is y. This method returns than variable.

getDnames

public java.lang.String[] getDnames()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: XVariable

Returns a string rep of variable with its equation and value.

Overrides:

toString in class XVariable

Returns:

A string with the variable name and value.

findDerivative

public PartialDerivative findDerivative(java.lang.String dname,
                                        DJep jep)
                                 throws ParseException

Throws:

ParseException

update

public void update(java.util.Observable arg0,
                   java.lang.Object arg1)

When the value of the root object is changed makes the value of this partial derivative invalid.

Specified by:

update in interface java.util.Observer

Observer.update(java.util.Observable, java.lang.Object)

derivativeIsTrivallyZero

public boolean derivativeIsTrivallyZero()

Overrides:

derivativeIsTrivallyZero in class DVariable
