operators
Class PSLoop

java.lang.Object
  operators.PSLoop

All Implemented Interfaces:

pstypes.PSFlowOperator, pstypes.PSObject, pstypes.PSOperator

public class PSLoop

extends java.lang.Object

implements pstypes.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 repeating an executable array.

Constructor Summary

PSLoop()

Method Summary

void	action(dtypes.PSStack s) Repeats an executable array forever unless it contains an exit command.
java.lang.String	getOperatorToken() Returns the token identifying this operator.
boolean	isValid(dtypes.PSStack s) Checks if it valid to use this operator now.

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 "loop".

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

Specified by:

getOperatorToken in interface pstypes.PSOperator

Returns:

The token identifying this operator.

isValid

public boolean isValid(dtypes.PSStack s)
                throws exceptions.PSSyntaxException

Checks if it valid to use this operator now.

Loop can occur only if a valid executable array is given.

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

Specified by:

isValid in interface pstypes.PSOperator

Parameters:

s - A reference to PSStack instance.

Returns:

True if the operation can be executed, false otherwise.

Throws:

exceptions.PSSyntaxException - The syntax of the token is wrong.

action

public void action(dtypes.PSStack s)

Repeats an executable array forever unless it contains an exit command.

Precondition : A valid stack is given to method with an executable array on top.
Postcondition : The array will be executed over and over.

Specified by:

action in interface pstypes.PSFlowOperator

Parameters:

s - The Runtime Stack which contains the array.
