Constructor Detail

XNumber

public XNumber(double d)

Construct a XNodeSet object.

Parameters:

d - Value of the object

XNumber

public XNumber(Number num)

Construct a XNodeSet object.

Parameters:

num - Value of the object

Method Detail

getType

public int getType()

Tell that this is a CLASS_NUMBER.

Overrides:

getType in class XObject

Returns:

node type CLASS_NUMBER

getTypeString

public String getTypeString()

Given a request type, return the equivalent string. For diagnostic purposes.

Overrides:

getTypeString in class XObject

Returns:

type string "#NUMBER"

num

public double num()

Cast result object to a number.

Overrides:

num in class XObject

Returns:

the value of the XNumber object

num

public double num(XPathContext xctxt)
           throws TransformerException

Evaluate expression to a number.

Overrides:

num in class Expression

Parameters:

xctxt - The XPath runtime context.

Returns:

0.0

Throws:

TransformerException

bool

public boolean bool()

Cast result object to a boolean.

Overrides:

bool in class XObject

Returns:

false if the value is NaN or equal to 0.0

str

public String str()

Cast result object to a string.

Overrides:

str in class XObject

Returns:

"NaN" if the number is NaN, Infinity or -Infinity if the number is infinite or the string value of the number.

object

public Object object()

Return a java object that's closest to the representation that should be handed to an extension.

Overrides:

object in class XObject

Returns:

The value of this XNumber as a Double object

equals

public boolean equals(XObject obj2)

Tell if two objects are functionally equal.

Overrides:

equals in class XObject

Parameters:

obj2 - Object to compare this to

Returns:

true if the two objects are equal

Throws:

TransformerException

isStableNumber

public boolean isStableNumber()

Tell if this expression returns a stable number that will not change during iterations within the expression. This is used to determine if a proximity position predicate can indicate that no more searching has to occur.

Overrides:

isStableNumber in class Expression

Returns:

true if the expression represents a stable number.

callVisitors

public void callVisitors(ExpressionOwner owner,
                XPathVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: XPathVisitable

This will traverse the heararchy, calling the visitor for each member. If the called visitor method returns false, the subtree should not be called.

Specified by:

callVisitors in interface XPathVisitable

Overrides:

callVisitors in class XObject

Parameters:

owner - The owner of the visitor, where that path may be rewritten if needed.

visitor - The visitor whose appropriate method will be called.

XPathVisitable.callVisitors(ExpressionOwner, XPathVisitor)
