An array doesn't have a value by itself, but can contain operands of type boolean, integer, double, array (for multi-dimensional arrays) or collection (list or set). In the latter case, the collections must share the same domain and same type (either list or set). All the elements of an array must be of the same type. With intervals or lists

        This operator can also be used with intervals or lists to create an array with a dynamic number of elements. In that case, this operator becomes a binary operator that takes an interval or a list as first operand and a LambdaFunction. The operator will call the function on each value of the interval or the list and the returned values will be used to populate the array.

        Since:
        2.1
      • At

        public static final LSOperator At

        Returns the element at specific coordinates of an array or a list.

        For arrays

        The first operand must be the array and the other operands must be the coordinates of the element to get. The number of coordinates depends on the dimension of the array. Thus AT(myArray, i) returns the i element of the one-dimensional array myArray. This operator returns a boolean, an integer or a double according to the type of the operands in the array. If one of the specified coordinate is out of range, the evaluation of the expression will fail.

        For lists

        The first operand must be the list and the second operand must be the index of the element to get. If the index is out of range (index < 0 or index > count(list)), the evaluation of the expression will not fail but will return -1.

        Since:
        2.1
      • Scalar

      • Piecewise

        public static final LSOperator Piecewise

        Piecewise-linear function operator. The piecewise linear function is defined by two arrays of numbers giving the breakpoints of the function. This operator has exactly 3 operands: The first two operands must be two arrays of equal sizes (necessarily larger or equal to 2). These arrays must contain constant numbers (integers or doubles). The first array must contain numbers in ascending order. The third operand must be an integer or a double expression. The evaluation of the piecewise will fail if the value of the third operand is strictly smaller that the first element of the first array, or strictly larger than the last element of the first array. This operator returns a double.

        PIECEWISE(x,y,z) returns the image of z by the function defined by geometric points (x[0],y[0]), (x[1],y[1]), ..., (x[n-1],y[n-1]), For instance PIECEWISE(ARRAY(0, 50, 100), ARRAY(0, 10, 100), 75) returns 55.

        Discontinuities are allowed in the definition of the function, that is to say that two geometric points can share the same x-coordinate. By convention the value taken by the function at such a discontinuous point is the one associated to the last occurrence of this x-coordinate in array x. For instance PIECEWISE(ARRAY(0, 50, 50, 100), ARRAY(0, 0.1, 0.9, 1), 50) returns 0.9.

        public static final LSOperator Range

        Range expression. This operator takes exactly two integer operands. The first one is the lower bound (inclusive), the second one is the upper bound (exclusive).

      • Find

        public static final LSOperator Find
        Find. find(a, v) returns the position of the first collection in the array a that contains the value v. If the value is not in any collections of the array, it returns -1. If the element belongs to several collections, it returns the smallest position among the collections containing the element. This operator takes exactly two arguments: the first one is an Array of collections, the second one is the value searched. All the collections of the array must be of the same type and on the same range.

        10.5
      • Sort

        public static final LSOperator Sort
        Sort. sort(a) returns the input Array a sorted in ascending order. This operator returns an array of integers if the input array is solely composed of booleans or integers, and an array of doubles as soon as the input array contains a double. This operator can also be used with an optional LambdaFunction as second argument sort(a, key). In that case the operator will sort the array in ascending order based on the values returned by the lambda function. The sort operator guarantees that the order of elements having the same key is preserved.
        Since:
        11.0
      • Interval

        public static final LSOperator Interval
        Interval decision variable. Operator with two integer constant operands that represent the min start and the max end of the decision. The interval is included in [minStart, maxEnd). Its start is inclusive and its end is exclusive.
        Since:
        12.0
      • Start

        public static final LSOperator Start
        The start of a non-void interval. This operator takes exactly one argument of type interval and returns an integer.
        Since:
        12.0
      • End

        public static final LSOperator End
        The end of a non-void interval. This operator takes exactly one argument of type interval and returns an integer.
        Since:
        12.0
      • Length

        public static final LSOperator Length
        The length of a non-void interval. This operator takes exactly one argument of type interval and returns an integer. The length of an interval is equivalent to end(interval) - start(interval). It differs from the count on void intervals since the length of a void interval is undefined whereas the count of a void interval is 0.
        Since:
        12.0
      • Distinct

        public static final LSOperator Distinct
        Returns the distinct values of the elements of an array, collection or interval. This operator accepts one or two operands. With one operand, the operator takes an array and returns the unordered set of distinct values in the array. With two operands, the operator takes a collection (set or list), range or interval as first operand and a LambdaFunction as second operand. The operator calls the function on each element of the iterable and returns the unordered set of distinct values among all the values returned by the function.
        Since:
        12.5
      • Intersection

        public static final LSOperator Intersection
        Returns the intersection between an array/collection and an array/collection. This operator accepts two operands. The operator takes a collection (set or list), or an array (constant or not) as its first and second operand. The operator returns the unordered set of the values present in both operands.
        Since:
        12.5
      • Hull

        public static final LSOperator Hull
        The smallest interval including all intervals given in operands. This operator accepts n operands of type interval, or an unique operator of type array of intervals. The operator returns an interval with a start equal to the smallest start of its operands, and an end equal to the largest end of its operands. Void intervals given in operands will be ignored.
        Since:
        13.0
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static LSOperator[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (LSOperator c : LSOperator.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static LSOperator valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
