Constructor Detail

Rank

public Rank(Rank.Type type,
            boolean descending,
            FieldI f)

Construct the rank function.

Parameters:

type - Method used to calculate ranks, Type.COMPETITION is standard

descending - whether ranks are calculated in descending (standard) or ascending order.

f - field to use

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.

eval

public java.lang.Object eval(java.lang.Object val,
                             java.lang.Object data)
                      throws EvaluationException

Specified by:

eval in class BinaryFunction

Throws:

EvaluationException

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'.

calcDims

public Dimensions calcDims(Dimensions... inDims)
                    throws ParseException

Description copied from interface: MatrixFunctionI

Attempts to calculate the dimensions of a result of a PostfixMathCommand.

Specified by:

calcDims in interface MatrixFunctionI

Parameters:

inDims - the dimensions of each argument

Returns:

the dimension of the result or null if can be calculated

Throws:

ParseException - if there is a parse error
