Constructor Detail

Inequation

public Inequation(Term leftTerm,
                  Term rightTerm,
                  int type)

Creates a new inequation of the given type with the two terms.

Parameters:

leftTerm - a term.

rightTerm - a term.

type - the type of the inequality, one of Inequation.LESS, Inequation.LESS_EQUAL Inequation.GREATER, Inequation.GREATER_EQUAL, Inequation.UNEQUAL.

Method Detail

replaceTerm

public Statement replaceTerm(Term toSubstitute,
                             Term substitution)

Description copied from class: Statement

Replaces each occurrence of "toSubstitute" by "substitution" and return the new statement.

Specified by:

replaceTerm in class Statement

Parameters:

toSubstitute - the term to be substituted

substitution - the new term

Returns:

this statement where "toSubstitute" is replaced by "substitution"

getType

public int getType()

Returns the type of this inequation.

Returns:

the type of this inequation.

isNormalized

public boolean isNormalized()

Description copied from class: Statement

Checks whether this constraint is of normalized form, i.e. whether it has the form "T > 0" or "T >= 0", "T = 0" or "T != 0"

Specified by:

isNormalized in class Statement

Returns:

"true" iff this constraint is normalized.

toNormalizedForm

public Statement toNormalizedForm()

Description copied from class: Statement

Normalizes this constraint, i.e. brings it into an equivalent form "T > 0" or "T >= 0", "T = 0" or "T != 0".

Specified by:

toNormalizedForm in class Statement

Returns:

a statement.

toLinearForm

public Statement toLinearForm()

Description copied from class: Statement

Brings both terms into linear form. If this constraint is normalized (i.e. the right term consists of the constant 0) the right term is not linearized.

Specified by:

toLinearForm in class Statement

Returns:

a statement.

getRelationSymbol

public java.lang.String getRelationSymbol()

Description copied from class: Statement

Returns the relation symbol of this statement.

Specified by:

getRelationSymbol in class Statement

Returns:

the relation symbol of this statement.
