ConstructorKey

public ConstructorKey()

Method Detail

intf

public abstract Class<?> intf()

Access the interface this key indexes.

Returns:

class of the interface

type

public abstract Class<?> type(int i)

Access the type of class at the given parameter index.

Parameters:

i - index of the parameter

Returns:

class of the parameter at index

n

public abstract int n()

Access the number of parameters in the constructor.

Returns:

number of parameters

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

isUniform

public boolean isUniform()

Indicates whether this key has multiple parameters and they are of uniform type. If there are less then two types this method will return false. new Object[]{ Atom, Bond, Atom } // false new Object[]{ Atom, Atom, Atom } // true

Returns:

whether the key is uniform

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey o)

Orders constructor keys by the number of parameters and then this name.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey>

Parameters:

o - another constructor key

Returns:

whether the other key is greater than, less than or equal to this key

isAssignable

public boolean isAssignable(DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey candidate)

Checks whether this key is assignable to the candidate.

Parameters:

candidate - another constructor key

Returns:

whether the provided candidate is assignable

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
