Constructor Details

TripleSetSignature

public TripleSetSignature()

Creates a new empty signature.

Method Details

isSubSignature

public boolean isSubSignature(Signature other)

Description copied from interface: Signature

Checks whether this signature is a sub-signature of the given signature, i.e. whether each logical expression expressible with this signature is also expressible with the given signature.

Specified by:

isSubSignature in interface Signature

Parameters:

other - a signature.

Returns:

"true" iff this signature is a sub-signature of the given one.

isOverlappingSignature

public boolean isOverlappingSignature(Signature other)

Description copied from interface: Signature

Checks whether this signature has common elements with the given signature, i.e. whether there are logical expressions expressible with this signature that are also expressible with the given signature.

Specified by:

isOverlappingSignature in interface Signature

Parameters:

other - a signature.

Returns:

"true" iff this signature is overlapping with the given one.

addSignature

public void addSignature(Signature other)

Description copied from interface: Signature

Adds the elements of the given signature to this signature.

Specified by:

addSignature in interface Signature

Parameters:

other - a signature.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Signature

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Specified by:

equals in interface Signature

Overrides:

equals in class Object

addAll

public void addAll(Collection<?> c)

Description copied from interface: Signature

Adds all elements of this collection to this signature.

Specified by:

addAll in interface Signature

Parameters:

c - a collection

add

public void add(Object... objects)
         throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: Signature

Adds the given formulas to the signature.

Specified by:

add in interface Signature

Parameters:

objects - some objects to be added

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: Signature

Returns true if this signature is empty.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Signature

Returns:

true if this signature is empty.

removeAll

public void removeAll(Collection<?> c)

Description copied from interface: Signature

Removes all of this signature elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). After this call returns, this signature will contain no elements in common with the specified collection.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Signature

Parameters:

c - a collection of objects

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: Signature

Removes all elements of this signature. After this call returns, this signature will contain no elements.

Specified by:

clear in interface Signature

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface Signature

Overrides:

toString in class Object

clone

public abstract TripleSetSignature<T,S,U> clone()

Description copied from interface: Signature

clones signature

Specified by:

clone in interface Signature

Returns:

clone
