      Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula
      Creates a deep copy of this formula
      Specified by:
      clone in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

    • getTerms

      public Set<Term<?>> getTerms()
      Returns:
      a set containing all terms of this logical structure
    • getTerms

      public <C extends Term<?>> Set<C> getTerms(Class<C> cls)
      Description copied from interface: LogicStructure
      Processes the set containing all terms of type C. This method uses the equals method of the given Class and therefore does not add terms which are sub classes of type C to the set.
      Type Parameters:
      C - the type of terms
      Parameters:
      cls - The Class structure containing type information about the searched term
      Returns:
      A set containing all terms of type C of this logical structure
    • getName

      public String getName()
      Returns:
      the name of the predicate
    • getPredicate

      public Predicate getPredicate()
      Returns:
      the predicate of the atom
    • 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.
      Parameters:
      predicate - some predicate
      Returns:
      Depends on the cases described above: 1. RSP_SUCCESS 2. RSP_INCOMPLETE 3. RSP_TRUNCATED 4. RSP_CLEARED
