Method Detail

eval

public void eval(DoubleStack s,
                 VariableMemento v)

get the value

Overrides:

eval in class Value

Parameters:

s - the stack to push onto

v - the memento to use. If v == null, use the default value

getValue

public double getValue(VariableMemento v)

get the value

Overrides:

getValue in class Value

Parameters:

v - the memento to use. If v==null, use the default value

Returns:

the value

assign

public void assign(double d,
                   VariableMemento v)

assign a new value

Parameters:

d - the new value

v - the memento to use. if v == null, assign to the default value

reset

public void reset(VariableMemento v)

set the value for this variable in a memento to the default

Parameters:

v - the memento. If v == null, does nothing

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Value

toString

public void toString(java.util.Stack stringStack,
                     java.util.Stack precedenceStack,
                     SymbolTable st)

Description copied from class: Symbol

pushes a StringBuffer that reflects this Symbol, with all its arguments

Overrides:

toString in class Value

Parameters:

stringStack - the stack of StringBuffer from which to pop arguments and to which to push results

precedenceStack - a stack to be push'ed and pop'ed in parallel with stringStack that contains Integers, corresponding to the precedence of the arguments onstringStack. This is used to determine placement of parentheses. Anything other than a binary operation should push Symbol.maxPrecedence

st - the SymbolTable to get Symbol names from Note: the name is a misnomer; it uses StringBuffer's, not String's
