    • Constructor Detail

      • ObjectRegister

        public ObjectRegister​(ObjectTokenType<O> type)

    • 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​(O value)
        Description copied from interface: ObjectSettable
        Sets the container to the given object value.

        The value is stored by reference. Therefore, the caller must guarantee that the provided object will not be modified subsequent to this call. Failure to comply may result in unexpected behavior.

        Specified by:
        set in interface ObjectSettable<O>
        Parameters:
        value - object 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
      • asObject

        public final O asObject()
        Description copied from interface: ObjectValued
        Gets the contained Java object.
        Specified by:
        asObject in interface ObjectValued<O>
        Returns:
        the contained value. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), null 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
