Class CharIsInWhichString

java.lang.Object
  codesimian.CS<CSGeneric>
      codesimian.DefaultCS
          codesimian.CharIsInWhichString

All Implemented Interfaces:

CodeSimian

Direct Known Subclasses:

CharIsInWhichString.Final

public class CharIsInWhichString
extends DefaultCS

example: charIsInWhichString(PC('x' 0) '1234' 'qwer' 'asdf' 'zxcv') returns 3 because 'zxcv' is the 4th string and it starts at 0 (at index 1 in this CharIsInWhichString).

Returns -1 if char not found in any of the strings. Returns 0 if found in first String, 1 if found in second, 2 third...

This is useful for mapping keys on arbitrary keyboards to a grid of any number of dimensions, but 2 is probably best since keyboards are 2D on their typing surface.


TODO:

This class could be optimized to not search but jump immediately to the correct index, but that would require that the strings are not observed to change...

...or can only change on a refresh? What causes the refresh? It cant be executing this CS because that returns the string index the char is found in. That would require refreshing every key looked up, not any faster. Maybe the solution should be an inner subclass that reads the strings only on its first execution.

Method Summary

double	DForProxy() Execute this CS and cast to double.
java.lang.String	keyword() For the CodeSimian language as a String. CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc. Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add. Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword. The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
int	maxP() Maximum quantity of Params
int	minP() 3 because there is no choice of string if less

Constructor Detail

CharIsInWhichString

public CharIsInWhichString()

Method Detail

minP

public int minP()

3 because there is no choice of string if less

Overrides:

minP in class DefaultCS

maxP

public int maxP()

Description copied from class: CS

Maximum quantity of Params

Overrides:

maxP in class CS

DForProxy

public double DForProxy()

Description copied from class: CS

Execute this CS and cast to double.

D() and DForProxy() are the 2 most important functions in CS. They execute this CS. All other execute functions, by default, return DForProxy cast to their own type.

For example, J() calls the proxy which calls JForProxy() which calls DForProxy(). D() calls the proxy which calls DForProxy().

By default, all other primitive EXECUTE functions defer to D.
Functions that EXECUTE this CS: L(Class) L(int,Class,int) Z() B() C() S() I() J() F() D() V()

Specified by:

DForProxy in class DefaultCS

keyword

public java.lang.String keyword()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For the CodeSimian language as a String.
CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc.

Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add.

Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword.
The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
Default: Returns class name, minus package name (and its dots), and change the first letter to lowercase.

For example, CS.MaxParams does not override keyword(), which returns "maxP".

Overrides:

keyword in class DefaultCS
