Method Detail

matchArgumentTypes

public static boolean matchArgumentTypes(List<Object> arguments,
                         FormulaFunction function)

Check whether the function will accept the given list of values as arguments.

Parameters:

arguments - the possible values

function - a function

Returns:

true if the function can accept the given arguments

matchArgumentTypes

public static boolean matchArgumentTypes(List<Object> arguments,
                         FormulaFunction function,
                         boolean allowNull)

Checks whether the function will accept the given arguments.

Parameters:

arguments - the arguments

function - a function

allowNull - whether the function should allow null arguments

Returns:

true if the function can accept the given arguments

matchArgumentCount

public static boolean matchArgumentCount(int nArguments,
                         FormulaFunction function)

Check whether the function will accept the given number of arguments.

Parameters:

nArguments - the number of arguments

function - a function

Returns:

true if the function can accept the given number of arguments

findFirstMatch

public static FormulaFunction findFirstMatch(List<Object> arguments,
                             Collection<FormulaFunction> formulaFunctions)

Finds the first function that can accept the given values as arguments.

Parameters:

arguments - the possible values

formulaFunctions - a collection of functions

Returns:

the first function that accepts the give arguments

findArgTypeMatch

public static Collection<FormulaFunction> findArgTypeMatch(List<Class<?>> argTypes,
                                           Collection<FormulaFunction> formulaFunctions)

Finds the functions that match the given types as arguments.

Parameters:

argTypes - the possible types

formulaFunctions - a collection of functions

Returns:

the first function that accepts the give arguments

formatSignature

public static String formatSignature(FormulaFunction function)

Returns a string representation of the function that will include the function name, argument types, argument names and the result type.

Parameters:

function - a function

Returns:

string representation

format

public static String format(String function,
            List<String> args)

Given the function name and a string representation of the arguments, returns the properly formatted string representation of the whole expression.

Parameters:

function - the function name

args - the arguments

Returns:

the expression text representation
