        Description copied from class: PlFormula
        Returns all literals, i.e. all formulas of the form "a" or "!a" where "a" is a proposition, that appear in this formula.
        Specified by:
        getLiterals in class PlFormula
        Returns:

      • setPredicate

        public Atom.RETURN_SET_PREDICATE setPredicate​(Predicate predicate)
        Description copied from interface: Atom
        Changes the predicate of the atom. Given an old Predicate po and a new predicate pn with their list of arguments types at(po) and at(pn) and the arguments of this Atom: arg(this) this method distinguishes between three cases: 1. The predicate only differ in the names, returning RSP_SUCCESS 2. The old predicates argument types is a sub-list of the new argument types then the method returns RSP_INCOMPLETE and the atoms isComplete() method returns false 3. The new predicates argument types is a sub-list of the old argument types then the method returns RSP_TRUNCATED and the arguments of this atom are truncated too and isComplete() returns true. 4. The old and new predicates' argument types differ then the list of arguments of the atom get cleared and isComplete() returns false.
        Specified by:
        setPredicate in interface Atom
        Parameters:
        predicate - some predicate
        Returns:
        Depends on the cases described above: 1. RSP_SUCCESS 2. RSP_INCOMPLETE 3. RSP_TRUNCATED 4. RSP_CLEARED
