Constructor Detail

Similarity

private Similarity(java.lang.String n,
                   java.util.ArrayList<Term> arg)

Constructor with partial values, called by make

Parameters:

n - The name of the term

arg - The component list of the term

Similarity

private Similarity(java.lang.String n,
                   java.util.ArrayList<Term> cs,
                   java.util.ArrayList<Variable> open,
                   short i)

Constructor with full values, called by clone

Parameters:

n - The name of the term

cs - Component list

open - Open variable list

i - Syntactic complexity of the compound

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clone an object

Specified by:

clone in class CompoundTerm

Returns:

A new object, to be casted into a Similarity

make

public static Similarity make(Term subject,
                              Term predicate)

Try to make a new compound from two components. Called by the inference rules.

Parameters:

subject - The first compoment

predicate - The second compoment

Returns:

A compound generated or null

operator

public java.lang.String operator()

Get the operator of the term.

Specified by:

operator in class CompoundTerm

Returns:

the operator of the term

isCommutative

public boolean isCommutative()

Check if the compound is communitative.

Overrides:

isCommutative in class CompoundTerm

Returns:

true for communitative
