Class ConditionalExpression
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ExpressionCommand
,Serializable
A ConditionalExpression object holds the two expressions that are the cases in a conditional expression. Note that the boolean condition is NOT stored in the ConditionalExpression object; it is part of the ExpressionProgram for the expression in which the conditional expression occurs. A ConditionalExpression is an ExpressionCommand, meaning that it can occur in an ExpressionProgram. When the apply() method in this class is called, the boolean condition has already been evaluated, and the result is on the top of the stack. The ConditionalExpression will look at this result and replace it with the value of one of the two expressions that it contains.
It is unlikely that there will be any reason for anyone to use or understand this class, except possibly as an example of an ExpressionCommand.

Method Details
-
apply
Apply this ConditionalExpression to the stack. (Get the top item from the stack. If it is non-zero (representing a boolean value of true), evaluate trueCase and put it's value on the stack. Otherwise, evaluate falseCase and put its value on the stack. If cases is non-null, record case values for the boolean condition and for the expression that is evaluated.)- Specified by:
apply
in interfaceExpressionCommand
- Parameters:
stack
- contains results of previous commands in the program.cases
- if non-null, any case information generated during evaluation should be recorded here.

compileDerivative
public void compileDerivative(ExpressionProgram prog, int myIndex, ExpressionProgram deriv, Variable wrt) Add commands to deriv that evaluate the derivative of this conditional expression with respect to the variable wrt. Assume that the ConditionalExpression Object occurs in the program prog at index myIndex. (The derivative of a conditional expression is another conditional expression. The boolean test for the derivative is the same as the test for this expression, so copy that test onto deriv. Than add a new ConditionalExpression object to deriv whose trueCase is the derivative of this.trueCase and whose falseCase is the derivative of this.falseCase.)- Specified by:
compileDerivative
in interfaceExpressionCommand
- Parameters:
prog
- program in which ExpressionCommand occurs.myIndex
- point at which ExpressionCommand occurs in the ExpressionProgram.deriv
- the derivative of the ExpressionPorgram prog, which is in the process of being computed. Commands should added to deriv that will compute the derivative of this ExpressionCommand.wrt
- commands are added to deriv with respect to this Variable.
-
extent
Assume that this ConditionalExpression object occurs in prog at index myIndex. Compute the total number of commands in prog used by the conditional expression, including the boolean test, which occurs in prog at position myIndex-1. (The number of commands in prog used by the conditional expression is 1 (for the ConditionalExpression object itself) plus the number of commands in the boolean condition.)- Specified by:
extent
in interfaceExpressionCommand
- Parameters:
prog
- ExpressionProgram in which this ExpressionCommand occurs.myIndex
- index at which ExpressionCommand occurs in prog.- Returns:
- total number of indices in prog occupied by this command and commands that generate data used by this command.
-
dependsOn
Returns true if x occurs in either the trueCase or the falseCase expression.- Specified by:

appendOutputString
Append the string representation of the expression (including the boolean condition) to the buffer. Assume that this ConditionalExpression occurs as a command in prog at index myIndex (so the boolean condition starts at index myIndex-1).- Specified by:
