Detailed Description

A mathematical function argument definition with free value and base class for all argument definitions.

Free arguments accepts any value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Argument::Argument ( string  name_ = "",
bool  does_test = true,
bool  does_error = true 
)

Creates a new argument definition.

Parameters
nameName/title of the argument definition.
does_testIf argument values will be tested.
does_errorIf an error will issued if the value tests false.
Argument::Argument ( const Argument arg)

Creates a copy of an argument definition.

Parameters
argArgument to copy.
virtual Argument::~Argument ( )
virtual

Destructor

Member Function Documentation

bool Argument::alerts ( ) const

If an error message will be presented to the user if the value for the argument is not allowed.

Returns
true if error messages will be shown.
virtual Argument* Argument::copy ( ) const
virtual
string Argument::getCustomCondition ( ) const

Returns the custom condition expression set for argument values.

Returns
Custom condition for argument values.
string Argument::name ( ) const

Returns the name/title of the argument definition.

Returns
Name/title.
virtual MathStructure Argument::parse ( const string &  str,
const ParseOptions po = default_parse_options 
) const
virtual

Parses an expression for an argument value. The default behavior is to use Calculator::parse() directly.

Parameters
strExpression.
poParse options.
Returns
A new mathematical structure with the parsed expression.
virtual void Argument::parse ( MathStructure mstruct,
const string &  str,
const ParseOptions po = default_parse_options 
) const
virtual

Parses an expression for an argument value. The default behavior is to use Calculator::parse() directly.

Parameters
mstructMathematical structure to set with the parsed expression.
strExpression.
poParse options.

Reimplemented in AngleArgument.

virtual string Argument::print ( ) const
virtual
string Argument::printlong ( ) const

Resturns a long description of the argument definition. Ex. "A real number > 2".

Returns
Long description.
bool Argument::rationalPolynomial ( ) const

If only rational polynomials are allowed as argument value.

See also
MathStructure::isRationalPolynomial()
Returns
true if only rational polynomials is allowed.
virtual void Argument::set ( const Argument arg)
virtual

Sets the argument to a copy of an argument definition.

Parameters
argArgument to copy.

Reimplemented in IntegerArgument, and NumberArgument.

void Argument::setCustomCondition ( string  condition)

Sets a custom condition for argument values. '' is replaced by the argument value in the expression.

Parameters
conditionCondition expression.
void Argument::setName ( string  name_)

Sets the name/title of the argument definition.

Parameters
name_New name/title.
void Argument::setZeroForbidden ( bool  forbid_zero)

Sets if a value of zero is forbidden for the argument value.

Parameters
forbid_zeroIf zero shall be forbidden.
virtual string Argument::subprintlong ( ) const
protectedvirtual

This function is called from Argument::printlong() and returns description specific the argument definition type. Should be reimplemented by all subclasses. For example IntegerArgument::subprintlong() might return "an integer" and Argument::printlong() might append " that fulfills the condition: even(\x)".

Returns
Long description.

Reimplemented in ArgumentSet, FileArgument, VariableArgument, AngleArgument, UnitArgument, BooleanArgument, FunctionArgument, ExpressionItemArgument, MatrixArgument, VectorArgument, DateArgument, TextArgument, SymbolicArgument, IntegerArgument, NumberArgument, DataObjectArgument, and DataPropertyArgument.

virtual bool Argument::subtest ( MathStructure value,
const EvaluationOptions eo 
) const
protectedvirtual

This function is called from Argument::test() and performs validation specific to the argument definition type. Should be reimplemented by all subclasses.

Parameters
valueValue to test.
eoEvaluation options to use if the value needs to be evaluated.
Returns
true if the value is valid for the argument definition.

Reimplemented in ArgumentSet, FileArgument, VariableArgument, AngleArgument, UnitArgument, BooleanArgument, FunctionArgument, ExpressionItemArgument, MatrixArgument, VectorArgument, DateArgument, TextArgument, SymbolicArgument, IntegerArgument, NumberArgument, DataObjectArgument, and DataPropertyArgument.

bool Argument::test ( MathStructure value,
int  index,
MathFunction f,
const EvaluationOptions eo = default_evaluation_options 
) const

Tests if a value fulfils the requirements of the argument definition. The value might change if it has not been fully evaluated.

Parameters
valueValue to test.
fMathematical function that the value is an argument for.
eoEvaluation options to use if the value needs to be evaluated.
Returns
true if the value is valid for the argument definition.
bool Argument::tests ( ) const

If the value for the argument will be tested. If not, the argument only works as an suggestion and any value is allowed.

Returns
true if the argument value will be tested.
virtual int Argument::type ( ) const
virtual
bool Argument::zeroForbidden ( ) const

If an argument value of zero is forbidden.

Returns
true if zero argument value is forbidden.
