Class ConstantBinary<T1,T2,V>

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.jga.fn.Functor<R>
      net.sf.jga.fn.BinaryFunctor<T1,T2,V>
          net.sf.jga.fn.adaptor.ConstantBinary<T1,T2,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Visitable

public class ConstantBinary<T1,T2,V>
extends BinaryFunctor<T1,T2,V>

Functor that returns the constant value given at construction.

To Serialize a ConstantBinary, the generic parameter V must be serializable.

Constructor Detail

ConstantBinary

public ConstantBinary(V val)

Builds a Constant functor for the given value. The value may be null: in that case, evaluating the functor will return null.

Method Detail

fn

public V fn(T1 unused,
            T2 ignored)

Given two arguments, ignores both and returns the constant value given at construction. Neither argument will be evaluated in any way by this functor.

Specified by:

fn in class BinaryFunctor<T1,T2,V>

Returns:

the constant value given at construction

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)

Calls the Visitor's visit(Constant) method, if it implements the nested Visitor interface.

Specified by:

accept in interface Visitable

Overrides:

accept in class Functor<V>

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
