  org.tockit.datatype.AbstractValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

Ordered, Value

Direct Known Subclasses:

DecimalValue, StringValue

public abstract class AbstractValue

extends java.lang.Object

implements Value

Field Summary

Constructor Summary

AbstractValue()

Method Summary

boolean	equals(java.lang.Object other) This implementation just checks the basics (not null, same type) and then delegates to the abstract sameTypeEquals(Object).
abstract int	hashCode()
boolean	isEqual(Ordered other) Ordered.isEqual() should match equals() since we assume value-identity.
boolean	isLesserThan(Ordered other) We default to be a co-chain.
protected abstract boolean	sameTypeEquals(java.lang.Object other)
java.lang.String	toString() Implements the requirement of Value that toString() matched getDisplayString().

public AbstractValue()

Method Detail

isLesserThan

public boolean isLesserThan(Ordered other)

We default to be a co-chain.

Specified by:

isLesserThan in interface Ordered

Parameters:

other - the object to compare to, must not be null

Returns:

true iff the current object is considered less than the one passed

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(Ordered other)

Ordered.isEqual() should match equals() since we assume value-identity.

Specified by:

isEqual in interface Ordered

Parameters:

other - the object to compare to, must not be null

Returns:

true iff the current object is considered equal to the one passed

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Implements the requirement of Value that toString() matched getDisplayString().

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

This implementation just checks the basics (not null, same type) and then delegates to the abstract sameTypeEquals(Object).

sameTypeEquals

protected abstract boolean sameTypeEquals(java.lang.Object other)

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()
