Class WrapAbilities.WrapWrapAbilities

java.lang.Object
  codesimian.wrap.WrapAbilities.WrapWrapAbilities

All Implemented Interfaces:

WrapAbilities

Enclosing interface:

WrapAbilities

public static class WrapAbilities.WrapWrapAbilities
extends java.lang.Object
implements WrapAbilities

wrap a subclass of WrapAbilities in this to limit it to the functions of WrapAbilities. You may want to do that if you give a WrapAbilities to objects that may try to modify it by casting to a type they know how to modify.

This class is probably not needed... Instead I should build a general transformer of java object to string java code for wrapper class of that object type.

Method Detail

accuracyOfWrap

public double accuracyOfWrap(java.lang.Class from,
                             java.lang.Class to)

Description copied from interface: WrapAbilities

returns 0 if can not wrap that way, else returns a number between 0 and 1.

For example, accuracyOfWrap(byte.class,int.class) should return 1, but accuracyOfWrap(int.class,byte.class) should return 0.25 since 3/4 of the bits are lost, but since ints use all their bits less often than bytes use all their bytes, you may return (for example) .4 instead.

accuracyOfWrap(StringBuffer.class,String.class) should return a high fraction. accuracyOfWrap(boolean.class,ANYTHINGEXCEPTBOOLEAN.class) should return a very low fraction because there is only 1 bit of information in a boolean.
