All Known Implementing Classes:
LinearTypeOrderBuilderImpl.TotalTypeOrder
public interface LinearTypeOrder
Linear order on types.

  • Method Details

    • lessThan

      boolean lessThan(Type t1, Type t2)
      Compare two types.
      Parameters:
      t1 - type to compare
      t2 - type to compare
      Returns:
      true iff t1 is less than t2 in this order.

    • lessThan

      boolean lessThan(int t1, int t2)
      Compare two types.
      Parameters:
      t1 - type to compare
      t2 - type to compare
      Returns:
      true iff t1 is less than t2 in this order.

    • compare

      int compare(FeatureStructure fs1, FeatureStructure fs2)
      Compare two Feature Structure's types
      Parameters:
      fs1 - first Feature Structure
      fs2 - second Feature Structure
      Returns:
      same as compare functions: -1 if fs1's type < fs2's type, etc.

    • getOrder

      int[] getOrder()
      Returns:
      The type order as array of type codes in ascending order.

    • isEmptyTypeOrder

      boolean isEmptyTypeOrder()
      Returns:
      true if there is no type order defined for this pipeline
