- net.sf.tweety.lp.asp.syntax.ASPElement
- - net.sf.tweety.lp.asp.syntax.ASPBodyElement
  - - net.sf.tweety.lp.asp.syntax.ASPLiteral

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<ASPLiteral>, net.sf.tweety.commons.Formula, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.Atom, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.ComplexLogicalFormula, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.Invertable, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.LogicStructure, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.SimpleLogicalFormula

Direct Known Subclasses:

ASPAtom, StrictNegation
```
public abstract class ASPLiteral
extends ASPBodyElement
implements net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.Atom, net.sf.tweety.logics.commons.syntax.interfaces.Invertable, Comparable<ASPLiteral>
```
This interface defines common functionality for literals, meaning atoms or strictly negated atoms. In the ASP-Core-2 standard, the formulas represented by this class are also referred to as 'classical atoms'.
