public class Attack
extends DirectedEdge<Argument>
implements DungEntity

This class models an attack between two arguments. It comprises of two attributes of Argument and is mainly used by abstract argumentation theories as e.g. DungTheory.

returns true if one arguments in arguments attacks another within this attack relation.

Parameters:

arguments - a list of arguments

Returns:

returns true if one arguments in arguments attacks another.

getAttacked

returns the attacked argument of this attack relation.

Returns:

the attacked argument of this attack relation.

getAttacker

public Argument getAttacker()

returns the attacking argument of this attack relation.

Returns:

the attacking argument of this attack relation.

contains

public boolean contains(Argument argument)

Return true if the given argument is in this attack relation.

Parameters:

argument - some argument
