Method Detail

visit

public void visit(ExprVisitor visitor)

eval

public NodeValue eval(Binding binding,
                      FunctionEnv env)

Description copied from interface: Expr

Evaluate this expression against the binding

Specified by:

eval in interface Expr

Specified by:

eval in class ExprNode

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from interface: Expr

Expr are used in both syntax and algebra. There is no syntax to algebra translation step because the parser uses operator precedence to build the right evaluation structure directly.

The exceptions to this are the NOT EXISTS and EXISTS expressions which involve a query pattern. As a result there are different ways in syntax to produce the same algebra form.

Two Expr are considered equal if they are equal as algebra expressions. hashCode and equals must implement that.

There is also equalsBySyntax. Because two different syntax forms can yield the same algebra, but two different algebra forms must be different syntax, equalsBySyntax implies equals (by alegbra).

Hence, different hashCode => not equalsBySyntax.
