Constructor Details

Abs

public Abs(GeneralFunction operand)

Constructs a new Abs

Parameters:

operand - The function which absolute value is operating on

Method Details

evaluate

public double evaluate(Map<String,Double> variableValues)

Description copied from interface: Evaluable

Evaluates a GeneralFunction at a point denoted by a Map

Parameters:

variableValues - the values of the variables in the GeneralFunction at the point

Returns:

the value of the GeneralFunction at the point

getDerivative

public GeneralFunction getDerivative(String varID)

Description copied from interface: Differentiable

Returns the derivative of a GeneralFunction with respect to a variable. Should not be used in general; GeneralFunction.getSimplifiedDerivative(java.lang.String) is strongly preferred.

Parameters:

varID - the ID of the variable that is differentiated against

Returns:

the derivative of the function with respect to varID

getInstance

public UnitaryFunction getInstance(GeneralFunction operand)

Description copied from class: UnitaryFunction

Returns a new instance of this UnitaryFunction

Specified by:

getInstance in class UnitaryFunction

Parameters:

operand - the GeneralFunction to be operated on

Returns:

a new instance of this UnitaryFunction

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: GeneralFunction

Returns a String representation of this GeneralFunction

Overrides:

toString in class UnitaryFunction

Returns:

String representation of this function

toOutputFunction

public OutputFunction toOutputFunction()

Description copied from interface: Outputable

Converts this function into an OutputFunction for use in string conversion

Specified by:

toOutputFunction in interface Outputable

Overrides:

toOutputFunction in class UnitaryFunction

Returns:

this function as an OutputFunction
