Method Detail

isValueType

public static final boolean isValueType(int type)

Indicates whether the type indicated by the specified type constants is a value type.

Parameters:

type - the type constant to be tested

Returns:

boolean true if the type constant is for a value type

isValidSymbol

public static final boolean isValidSymbol(java.lang.String value)

Verifies if the specified value complies with the rules of being a symbol.

Parameters:

value - the String value to be verified

Returns:

true if the value complies with the symbol rules, false otherwise

setType

public void setType(int type)

getType

public int getType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the type represented by this type.

Specified by:

getType in interface Type

Returns:

int the represented type

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: Type

Returns the name or String representation of the type

Specified by:

getName in interface Type

Returns:

String the String representation

getFullyQualifiedName

public java.lang.String getFullyQualifiedName()

Returns the fully qualified name of the value type. This is equal to the name of the type.

Specified by:

getFullyQualifiedName in interface Type

Returns:

String the fully qualified name

compareTypes

public boolean compareTypes(Type type,
                            boolean target)

This method compares this type with the given type and checks based on the target flag whether the types can be converted to one another. If target is true this method checks if the given type can be converted to or is compatible with this type. If target is false this method checks whether this type can be converted to or is compatible with the given type.

Specified by:

compareTypes in interface Type

Parameters:

type - the type to compare this type with

target - true if this type is the target false if the given type ios the target

Returns:

boolean an true if the types are compatible, false otherwise

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation of this value type

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

String the string representation of this type
