public class Token

extends java.lang.Object

A token represents a logical chunk of a string. For example, a typical tokenizer would break the string "1.23 <= 12.3" into three tokens: the number 1.23, a less-than-or-equal symbol, and the number 12.3. A token is a receptacle, and relies on a tokenizer to decide precisely how to divide a string into tokens.

Field Summary

static Token	EOF A constant indicating that there are no more tokens
protected double	nval
protected java.lang.String	sval
static TokenType	TT_EOF A constant indicating that the end of the stream has been read.
static TokenType	TT_NUMBER A constant indicating that a token is a number, like 3.14
static TokenType	TT_QUOTED A constant indicating that a token is a quoted string, like "Launch Mi".
static TokenType	TT_SYMBOL A constant indicating that a token is a symbol like "<=".
static TokenType	TT_WORD A constant indicating a token is a word, like "cat"
protected TokenType	ttype

Constructor Detail

Token

public Token(char c)

Constructs a token from the given char.

Parameters:

char - the char

Token

public Token(double nval)

Constructs a token from the given number.

Parameters:

double - the number

Token

public Token(java.lang.String sval)

Constructs a token from the given string.

Parameters:

String - the string

Token

public Token(TokenType ttype,
             java.lang.String sval,
             double nval)

Constructs a token of the indicated type and associated string or numeric values.

Parameters:

TokenType - the type of the token, typically one of the constants this class defines

string - the string value of the token, typically null except for WORD and QUOTED tokens

double - the numeric value of the token, typically 0 except for NUMBER tokens

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Returns true if the supplied object is an equivalent token.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

object - the object to compare

Returns:

true, if the supplied object is of the same type and value

equalsIgnoreCase

public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.Object o)

Returns true if the supplied object is an equivalent token, given mellowness about case in strings and characters.

Parameters:

object - the object to compare

Returns:

true, if the supplied object is of the same type and value. This method disregards case when comparing the string value of tokens.

true, if this token is a symbol

isWord

public boolean isWord()

Returns true if this token is a word.

Returns:

true, if this token is a word.

nval

public double nval()

Returns the numeric value of this token.

the numeric value of this token

sval

public java.lang.String sval()

Returns the string value of this token.

Returns:

the string value of this token

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return a textual description of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a textual description of this object

ttype

public TokenType ttype()

Returns the type of this token.

Returns:

the type of this token, typically one of the constants this class defines

value

public java.lang.Object value()
