Minimax

public Minimax()

Method Details

setIgnoreNaN

public void setIgnoreNaN(boolean ignore)

Indicate whether NaN values should be ignored. For the external min() and max() function, a NaN value in the input causes the result to be NaN. Internally, however, min() and max() are also used in such a way that NaN values should be ignored.

Parameters:

ignore - true if NaN values are to be ignored when computing the min or max.

isIgnoreNaN

public boolean isIgnoreNaN()

Test whether NaN values are to be ignored

Returns:

true if NaN values are to be ignored. This is the case for internally-generated min() and max() functions used to support general comparisons

getComparer

public AtomicComparer getComparer()

getArgumentType

public BuiltInAtomicType getArgumentType()

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

Get implementation method

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class SystemFunction

Returns:

a value that indicates this function is capable of being streamed

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Static analysis: prevent sorting of the argument

Overrides:

checkArguments in class CollatingFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Throws:

XPathException - if the arguments are incorrect

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Determine the cardinality of the function.

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException

Type-check the expression

Overrides:

typeCheck in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
 ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the item type of the value returned by the function

Overrides:

getItemType in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

th - the type hierarchy cache

Returns:

the statically inferred type of the expression

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Overrides:

copy in class CollatingFunction

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Determine whether two expressions are equivalent

Overrides:

equals in class CollatingFunction

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the function

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getAtomicComparer

public AtomicComparer getAtomicComparer(XPathContext context)
                                 throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

minimax

public static AtomicValue minimax(SequenceIterator iter,
 int operation,
 AtomicComparer atomicComparer,
 boolean ignoreNaN,
 XPathContext context)
                           throws XPathException

Static method to evaluate the minimum or maximum of a sequence

Parameters:

iter - Iterator over the input sequence

operation - either MIN or MAX

atomicComparer - an AtomicComparer used to compare values

ignoreNaN - true if NaN values are to be ignored

context - dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the min or max value in the sequence, according to the rules of the fn:min() or fn:max() functions

Throws:

XPathException - typically if non-comparable values are found in the sequence
