Method Detail

evaluate

public abstract byte evaluate(T lhs,
                              T[] rhs)

Evaluate this equation, setting a new value for the left-hand side.

Returns:

a code that indicates: 1) has the lhs value changed? 2) has this equation reached a fixed-point, in that we never have to evaluate the equation again, even if rhs operands change?

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public abstract boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public abstract String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
