Enum Assigner.Typing

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Assigner.Typing>
    Enclosing interface:
    Assigner

    public static enum Assigner.Typing
    extends java.lang.Enum<Assigner.Typing>
    Indicates for a type assignment, if a type casting should be applied in case that two types are not statically assignable. Also, a dynamic typing indicates that void values are assignable to other types by assigning the target type's default value.

      • values

        public static Assigner.Typing[] 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 (Assigner.Typing c : Assigner.Typing.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Assigner.Typing 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
      • of

        public static Assigner.Typing of​(boolean dynamic)
        Resolves a typing constant for the presented boolean where true indicates that dynamic typing is a legitimate choice.
        Parameters:
        dynamic - An indicator for if dynamic typing is a legitimate choice.
        Returns:
        A corresponding typing constant.
      • isDynamic

        public boolean isDynamic()
        Checks if this instance's typing behavior permits dynamic typing.
        Returns:
        true if dynamic typing is a legitimate choice.
