Package com.singularsys.extensions.structure

Class SequenceRule

java.lang.Object

com.singularsys.extensions.structure.SequenceRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

GrammaticalRuleI, GrammarMatcher, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

SequenceSeparatorRule

public class SequenceRule
extends java.lang.Object
implements GrammaticalRuleI

Parses a sequence of statements

 <SequenceRule> ::=
        (<statement>)*
 

A successful parses will return a SequenceNode with one child per statement. If there is only one child then just that child will be parsed.
