Method Details

values

public static ComparisonOperator[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ComparisonOperator valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

fromString

public static ComparisonOperator fromString(String value)

Similar to valueOf, but also matches display name value (symbols, like "=")

getDisplayValue

public String getDisplayValue()

Returns the short display value of the enum's value eg. <, =, etc.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<ComparisonOperator>

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(Number a,
 Number b)

Compares two number according to the operator. Note: The numbers will be converted to double for comparison, so if that is not appropriate, a different comparison mechanism should be used.

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(String pattern,
 String input)

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(SimplePatternSearcher searcher,
 String pattern,
 String input)

canEvaluateStrings

public boolean canEvaluateStrings()
