Constructor Detail

State

public State()

Constructs a new state. Initially, the new state is a reject state.

Method Detail

addTransition

public void addTransition(Transition t)

Adds an outgoing transition.

Parameters:

t - transition

compareTo

public int compareTo(State s)

Compares this object with the specified object for order. States are ordered by the time of construction.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<State>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

See Object.equals(java.lang.Object).

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getSortedTransitions

public List<Transition> getSortedTransitions(boolean to_first)

Returns sorted list of outgoing transitions.

Parameters:

to_first - if true, order by (to, min, reverse max); otherwise (min, reverse max, to)

Returns:

transition list

getTransitions

public Set<Transition> getTransitions()

Returns the set of outgoing transitions. Subsequent changes are reflected in the automaton.

Returns:

transition set

hashCode

public int hashCode()

See Object.hashCode().

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

isAccept

public boolean isAccept()

Returns acceptance status.

Returns:

true is this is an accept state

setAccept

public void setAccept(boolean accept)

Sets acceptance for this state.

Parameters:

accept - if true, this state is an accept state

step

public State step(char c)

Performs lookup in transitions, assuming determinism.

Parameters:

c - character to look up

Returns:

destination state, null if no matching outgoing transition

See Also:

step(char, Collection)

step

public void step(char c,
                 Collection<State> dest)

Performs lookup in transitions, allowing nondeterminism.

Parameters:

c - character to look up

dest - collection where destination states are stored

See Also:

step(char)

toString

public String toString()

Returns string describing this state. Normally invoked via Automaton.toString().

Overrides:

toString in class Object
