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

All Implemented Interfaces:

CodeSimian

Direct Known Subclasses:

TimerCS.FixedRate

public class TimerCS
extends DefaultCS

timer(executeMe intervalInSeconds [optional:executesLeft])

if there is no P(2), executesLeft defaults to 1. If there is a P(2), its value decreases by 1 each time the timer executes P(0), and when P(2) reaches 0, it does not execute P(0) again. If you increase the value of P(2) or replace P(2) and execute the timer again, P(0) can be scheduled to execute again.

The timer starts when you execute it. Until then, its numbers dont change.

P(0): executeMe is the CS to execute when the time comes. The first execution of executeMe is after intervalInSeconds delay, not immediately when you execute TimerCS.

P(1): intervalInSeconds is how many seconds (can be a fraction) between executions of executeMe. (Interval must be at least TimerCS.minIntervalMS/1000 seconds.)

Nested Class Summary

static class

TimerCS.FixedRate fixedRate runs much faster than not fixedRate, for very small intervals, but only because threads execute multiple times in the same millisecond to catch up.

Method Summary

double	cost() 50000, because switching between THREADS is slow
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() For DForProxy(). Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy(). Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use. Functions with a different number of parameters must override this. OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS. Default is 1.

Method Detail

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

cost

public double cost()

50000, because switching between THREADS is slow

Overrides:

cost in class CS

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

See Also:

CS.parent(), CS.newInstance(), CS.name()

minP

public int minP()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For DForProxy().
Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy().
Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use.
Functions with a different number of parameters must override this.
OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS.
Default is 1.

Overrides:

minP in class DefaultCS

maxP

public int maxP()

Description copied from class: CS

Maximum quantity of Params

Overrides:

maxP in class CS
