Interface IFunction

All Known Implementing Classes:

OneParamFunc, TwoParamFunc

public interface IFunction

IFunction interface represents a user defined callback function that takes n parameters. During evaluation of an expression, MathParser calls

IFunction.run(IParameter[] p)

to request the value of the function when it takes p.length number of parameters.

For example, a user could define a function like this:

public class MyFunc implements IFunction {
public double run(IParameter[] p){
return do_something_with_params( p );
}
}


Another user defined function "if" could be used as "if(1,3,4)". In this case, implementation of IFunction.run(IParameter[]) could return 3.0 if first parameter is >0 and it could return 4.0 if first parameter is 0 (false, to mimic "if" behavior).

User defined functions can be registered using createFunc method of MathParser.
Example:
mathParser.createFunc("myfunc", new MyFunc());

Method Summary

int	getNumberOfParams() This method returns the length of the parameters array that will be passed to the run(IParameter[]) method. For example, for a function like F(X, Y, Z), this function should return 3.
double	run(IParameter[] p)

Method Detail

run

public double run(IParameter[] p)

getNumberOfParams

public int getNumberOfParams()

This method returns the length of the parameters array that will be passed to the run(IParameter[]) method.
For example, for a function like F(X, Y, Z), this function should return 3.
