evaluate

public IExpr evaluate(IAST ast,
                      EvalEngine engine)

Description copied from class: AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Symbolic evaluation of a function. ast.get(0) (or alternatively ast.head()) contains the head (i.e. the function symbol) of this abstract syntax tree (AST).
From ast.arg1() to ast.get(n) the ast contains the first to n-th argument of the function (alternatively you get the first to fifth argument with the methods arg1(), arg2(),... arg5()).
If necessary use the methods from the Validate class to check the number or types of arguments in the evaluate method.
Note: if the symbolic evaluation isn't possible or no result is found the evaluate method returns with a null value without throwing an exception!

Specified by:

evaluate in interface IFunctionEvaluator

Specified by:

evaluate in class AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Parameters:

ast - the abstract syntax tree (AST) which should be evaluated

engine - the users current evaluation engine

Returns:

the evaluated object or null, if evaluation isn't possible

createPatternMatcher

public java.lang.Object[] createPatternMatcher(IExpr leftHandSide,

                                               boolean packageMode,
                                               EvalEngine engine)
                                        throws RuleCreationError

Description copied from interface: ICreatePatternMatcher

Returns an array of 2 objects with type IPatternMatcher (at index 0) and IExpr (at index 1).

Specified by:

createPatternMatcher in interface ICreatePatternMatcher

packageMode - TODO

Returns:

Throws:

                                             boolean packageMode)

setUp

public void setUp(ISymbol symbol)

Description copied from class: AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Evaluate built-in rules and define Attributes for a function.

Specified by:

setUp in interface IEvaluator

Overrides:

setUp in class AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol which should be set up
