Method Detail

checkNumberOfParameters

public boolean checkNumberOfParameters(int n)

Description copied from class: PostfixMathCommand

Checks the number of parameters of the function. Functions which set numberOfParameter=-1 should overload this method

Specified by:

checkNumberOfParameters in interface PostfixMathCommandI

Overrides:

checkNumberOfParameters in class PostfixMathCommand

Parameters:

n - number of parameters function will be called with.

Returns:

false if an illegal number of parameters is supplied, true otherwise.

run

public void run(java.util.Stack<java.lang.Object> stack)
         throws EvaluationException

Description copied from class: PostfixMathCommand

Throws an exception because this method should never be called under normal circumstances. Each function should use it's own run() method for evaluating the function. This includes popping off the parameters from the stack, and pushing the result back on the stack.

Specified by:

run in interface PostfixMathCommandI

Overrides:

run in class PostfixMathCommand

Parameters:

stack - arguments for function

Throws:

EvaluationException - if function cannot be evaluated

init

public void init(Jep jep)

Description copied from interface: JepComponent

Initialize the component. This methods is called whenever a component is added to Jep. Hence it allows components to keep track of the other components they may rely on.

Specified by:

init in interface JepComponent

Parameters:

jep - the current Jep instance

getLightWeightInstance

public JepComponent getLightWeightInstance()

Description copied from interface: JepComponent

Gets a light-weight instance suitable for using in multiple threads.

Specified by:

getLightWeightInstance in interface JepComponent

Returns:

either an new instance, null or 'this'.
