Enum Constant Details

NO

public static final OptionalBool NO

UNKNOWN

public static final OptionalBool UNKNOWN

YES

public static final OptionalBool YES

Method Details

values

public static OptionalBool[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static OptionalBool valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

complement

public OptionalBool complement()

Returns the logical complement.

 yes -> no
 unk -> unk
 no -> yes
 

max

public static OptionalBool max(OptionalBool a,
 OptionalBool b)

min

public static OptionalBool min(OptionalBool a,
 OptionalBool b)

join

public static OptionalBool join(OptionalBool a,
 OptionalBool b)

If both values are the same, return it. Otherwise return UNKNOWN.

 yes, yes -> yes
 no, no -> no
 everything else -> unk
 

isKnown

public boolean isKnown()

Returns true this is not UNKNOWN.

isTrue

public boolean isTrue()

Returns true if this is YES.

definitely

public static OptionalBool definitely(boolean a)

Returns either YES or NO depending on the given boolean.

unless

public static OptionalBool unless(boolean a)
