public abstract class IntegerSyntax
extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable

Class IntegerSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common implementation of all attributes with integer values.

Under the hood, an integer attribute is just an integer. You can get an integer attribute's integer value by calling getValue(). An integer attribute's integer value is established when it is constructed (see IntegerSyntax(int)). Once constructed, an integer attribute's value is immutable.

Constructor Detail

IntegerSyntax

protected IntegerSyntax(int value)
Construct a new integer attribute with the given integer value.

Parameters:
value - Integer value.

IntegerSyntax

protected IntegerSyntax(int value,
                        int lowerBound,
                        int upperBound)
Construct a new integer attribute with the given integer value, which must lie within the given range.

Parameters:
value - Integer value.
lowerBound - Lower bound.
upperBound - Upper bound.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if value is less than lowerBound or greater than upperBound.
Method Detail

getValue

public int getValue()
Returns this integer attribute's integer value.

Returns:
the integer value

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)
Returns whether this integer attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
  1. object is not null.
  2. object is an instance of class IntegerSyntax.
  3. This integer attribute's value and object's value are equal.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
object - Object to compare to.
Returns:
True if object is equivalent to this integer attribute, false otherwise.
See Also:
Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for this integer attribute. The hash code is just this integer attribute's integer value.

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string value corresponding to this integer attribute. The string value is just this integer attribute's integer value converted to a string.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.
