Class PSFor

java.lang.Object
  extended byoperators.PSFor
All Implemented Interfaces:
PSFlowOperator, PSObject, PSOperator

public class PSFor
extends java.lang.Object
implements PSFlowOperator

Implements PSFlowOperator interface.

Methods such as getOperatorToken() are inherited from PSFlowOperator interface which, in turn, are inherited from PSOperator. This concrete class is responsible for creating a for block: for(i=j;i<=l;i+=k) which executes an array.

public PSFor()
Method Detail

getOperatorToken

public java.lang.String getOperatorToken()
Returns the token identifying this operator.

Returns the name of the operand that this concrete class simulates, here "for".

Precondition : A valid operator class has been created.
Postcondition : A string is returned, labeling the semantics of this class.

Specified by:
getOperatorToken in interface PSOperator
Returns:
The token identifying this operator.

isValid

public boolean isValid(PSStack s)
                throws PSSyntaxException
Checks if it valid to use this operator now.

For can occur only if 3 numbers and an executable array is given.

Precondition : A valid instance of PSStack with 3 PSNumbers and an executable array on top.
Postcondition : A reply to the question whether the operator can perfom its defined behaviour.

Specified by:
isValid in interface PSOperator
Parameters:
s - A reference to PSStack instance.
Returns:
True if the operation can be executed, false otherwise.
Throws:
PSSyntaxException - The syntax of the token is wrong.

action

public void action(PSStack s)
Repeats the executable array as a for loop: for(i=j;i<=l;i+=k).

Precondition : A valid stack is given to method with 3 PSNumbers and an executable array on top.
Postcondition : The array will be executed based on the for parmeters.

Specified by:
action in interface PSFlowOperator
Parameters:
s - The Runtime Stack which contains the parameters and the array.
