    • toType

      protected T toType(String aArg) throws ParseArgsException
      Double dispatch hook to be implemented by subclasses of the AbstractOperand for converting a command line argument to the required Operand's type. In case conversion failed, then an according exception is to be thrown.
      Specified by:
      toType in class AbstractOperand<T extends Enum<T>>
      Parameters:
      aArg - The command line argument to be converted to an instance of the given type T.
      Returns:
      An instance of type T from the provided command line argument.
      Throws:
      ParseArgsException - Thrown in case the provided command line arguments do not respect the required syntax or cannot be converted to the required type.
