Method Detail

evaluate

public Number evaluate(Number number1,
                       Number number2)
                throws EvaluationException

Throws:

EvaluationException

getLevel

public int getLevel()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

isLeftOperation

public boolean isLeftOperation()

Description copied from interface: InfixOperator

Defines the bind-direction of the operator. That direction defines, in which direction a sequence of equal operators is resolved.

Returns:

true, if the operation is left-binding, false if right-binding

isAssociative

public boolean isAssociative()

Defines, whether the operation is associative. For associative operations, the evaluation order does not matter, if the operation appears more than once in an expression, and therefore we can optimize them a lot better than non-associative operations (ie. merge constant parts and precompute them once).

Returns:

true, if the operation is associative, false otherwise
