Interface AssociativeFormulaSupport.AssociativeSupportBridge

All Known Implementing Classes:

AssociativeFOLFormula, AssociativePropositionalFormula, Conjunction, Conjunction, Disjunction, Disjunction, DLPHead, LdoAssociativeFormula, LdoConjunction, LdoDisjunction

Enclosing class:

AssociativeFormulaSupport<T extends SimpleLogicalFormula>

public static interface AssociativeFormulaSupport.AssociativeSupportBridge

This interface defines a bridge between the AssociativeFormula implementation like a concrete Disjunction and the AssociativeFormulaSupport object which adds the implementation of the common functionality. To provide as much common functionality as possible the AssociativeFormulaSupport needs the bridge to create empty associative formulas, empty signatures and the string representation for the operator symbol and the symbol that means that the associative formula is empty.
