Class ComplexLogicalFormulaAdapter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.ComplexLogicalFormulaAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Formula, ComplexLogicalFormula, LogicStructure, SimpleLogicalFormula

Direct Known Subclasses:

AssociativeFormulaSupport, DLPElementAdapter, NLPRule

public abstract class ComplexLogicalFormulaAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements ComplexLogicalFormula

Abstract base class for ComplexLogicalFormula, that are formulas which implement substitute(), exchange(), getTerms(), isGround() and isWellFormed() and therefore use terms to describe themself. It also implements the isLiteral method and returns false as default behavior sub classes needing another behavior shall override this method

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract ComplexLogicalFormula	clone() Creates a deep copy of this formula
<C extends Term<?>> boolean	containsTermsOfType(java.lang.Class<C> cls) Checks if this logical structure contains at least one term of type C.
ComplexLogicalFormula	exchange(Term<?> v, Term<?> t) Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and at the same time replaces all occurrences of term "t" by term "v" and eventually returns the new formula.
<C extends Term<?>> java.util.Set<C>	getTerms(java.lang.Class<C> cls) Processes the set containing all terms of type C.
boolean	isGround() Checks whether this formula is ground, i.e.
boolean	isLiteral()
boolean	isWellFormed() Checks if this formula is well formed in the logical langauge.
ComplexLogicalFormula	substitute(java.util.Map<? extends Term<?>,? extends Term<?>> map) Substitutes all occurrences of all terms "v" in map.keyset() in this formula by map.get(v) and returns the new formula.

Method Detail

substitute

public ComplexLogicalFormula substitute(java.util.Map<? extends Term<?>,? extends Term<?>> map)
                                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Substitutes all occurrences of all terms "v" in map.keyset() in this formula by map.get(v) and returns the new formula.

Specified by:

substitute in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Parameters:

map - a mapping defining which terms to be substituted.

Returns:

a formula where every term in map.keyset() has been replaced by map.get(v).

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any term and its mapping are of different sorts

exchange

public ComplexLogicalFormula exchange(Term<?> v,
                                      Term<?> t)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and at the same time replaces all occurrences of term "t" by term "v" and eventually returns the new formula.

Specified by:

exchange in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Parameters:

v - a term.

t - a term.

Returns:

a new logical formula with both "v" and "t" exchanged.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if "v" and "t" are of different sorts

getTerms

public <C extends Term<?>> java.util.Set<C> getTerms(java.lang.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.

Specified by:

getTerms in interface LogicStructure

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

containsTermsOfType

public <C extends Term<?>> boolean containsTermsOfType(java.lang.Class<C> cls)

Description copied from interface: LogicStructure

Checks if this logical structure contains at least one term of type C. This method is a shortcut for !getTerms(TermImplementation.class).isEmpty().

Specified by:

containsTermsOfType in interface LogicStructure

Parameters:

cls - The class structure representing the type C of the term.

Returns:

True if this logical structure contains at least one term of type C or false otherwise.

isGround

public boolean isGround()

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Checks whether this formula is ground, i.e. whether there appears no variable in this formula.

Specified by:

isGround in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Returns:

"true" if this formula is ground.

isWellFormed

public boolean isWellFormed()

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Checks if this formula is well formed in the logical langauge. What well- formed means is highly language dependent and the documentation of implementing sub classes shall describe the well formed term for the language they model.

Specified by:

isWellFormed in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Returns:

true if the formula is well-formed, false otherwise

isLiteral

public boolean isLiteral()

Specified by:

isLiteral in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Returns:

true if the formula represents a literal in the language or false otherwise

clone

public abstract ComplexLogicalFormula clone()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Creates a deep copy of this formula

Specified by:

clone in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object
