Method Details

deepClone

public static GeneralFunction[] deepClone(GeneralFunction[] functionArray)

Deep-clones a GeneralFunction array

Parameters:

functionArray - array of Functions

Returns:

a deep-clone of the GeneralFunction[]

removeFunctionAt

public static GeneralFunction[] removeFunctionAt(GeneralFunction[] functionArray, int index)

Returns a copy of the input array with the GeneralFunction at the specified index removed

Parameters:

functionArray - the array of GeneralFunctions

index - index of the function to be removed

Returns:

the new array

distribute

public static GeneralFunction[] distribute(GeneralFunction[] multiply, GeneralFunction[] add)

Returns a GeneralFunction[] where every element in add is now a Product of multiply and the function that was previously at its location in add

Parameters:

multiply - the GeneralFunction[] which is distributed to every element in add

add - the GeneralFunction[] which is multiply being distributed on to

Returns:

GeneralFunction[] where multiply has been distributed to add

append

public static GeneralFunction[] append(GeneralFunction[] array, GeneralFunction element)

Appends a GeneralFunction to a GeneralFunction[]

Parameters:

array - the array to be appended to

element - the element to append

Returns:

new combined GeneralFunction[]

equalsSimplified

public static boolean equalsSimplified(GeneralFunction[] first, GeneralFunction[] second)
