StringRegister

public StringRegister()

Creates a new null-valued register.

Method Detail

setNull

public void setNull()

Description copied from interface: TokenSettable

Sets the contained value to be null valued.

Specified by:

setNull in interface TokenSettable

setZero

public void setZero()

Description copied from interface: TokenSettable

Sets the contained value to be zero valued.

Specified by:

setZero in interface TokenSettable

set

public void set(String value)

Description copied from interface: StringSettable

Sets the container to the given string value.

Specified by:

set in interface StringSettable

Parameters:

value - string value to which to set the container

set

public void set(TokenValued value)

Description copied from interface: TokenSettable

Sets the contained value to the given token value. The given value must have a type compatible with this object.

Specified by:

set in interface TokenSettable

Parameters:

value - the value to which to set the container

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getType

public ScalarTokenType getType()

Description copied from interface: TokenValued

Gets the data type of the token. This type will dictate the valid values that can be contained.

Specified by:

getType in interface ScalarValued

Specified by:

getType in interface TokenValued

Specified by:

getType in interface ScalarTyped

Specified by:

getType in interface TokenTyped

Returns:

the token type.

asString

public final String asString()

Description copied from interface: StringValued

Gets the contained string value.

Specified by:

asString in interface StringValued

Returns:

the contained value as a String. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), the empty string ("") is returned.

isZero

public boolean isZero()

Description copied from interface: ScalarValued

Indicates whether the value is the zero value for the type. Zero values are not stored in sparse representation formats.

Specified by:

isZero in interface ScalarValued

Returns:

true if the value is the zero value, false otherwise.

isNull

public final boolean isNull()

Description copied from interface: TokenValued

Indicates whether the token is null valued. Tokens support null values analogous to SQL. Before accessing the value of the container, it is usually best to ensure it is not null valued using this method.

Specified by:

isNull in interface TokenValued

Returns:

true if the token is null valued, false otherwise
