Method Details

getType

public AType getType()

Description copied from class: ACell

Gets the most specific known runtime Type for this Cell.

Overrides:

getType in class ACell

Returns:

The Type of this Call

print

public void print(StringBuilder sb)

Description copied from class: AObject

Prints this Object to a readable String Representation

Specified by:

print in class AObject

Parameters:

sb - StringBuilder to append to

length

public int length()

Specified by:

length in interface CharSequence

count

public long count()

Description copied from class: ACountable

Returns the number of elements in this data structure

Specified by:

count in class ACountable<CVMChar>

Returns:

Number of elements in this collection.

empty

public StringShort empty()

append

protected abstract AString append(char charValue)

get

public CVMChar get(long i)

Description copied from class: ACountable

Gets the element at the specified index in this collection

Specified by:

get in class ACountable<CVMChar>

subSequence in interface CharSequence

encode

public int encode(byte[] bs,
 int pos)

Description copied from class: ACell

Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, including a tag byte which will be written first

Specified by:

encode in interface IWriteable

Specified by:

encode in class ACell

Parameters:

bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding

pos - The offset into the byte array

Returns:

New position after writing

getTag

public final byte getTag()

Description copied from class: ACell
