Enum Constant Detail

BOOLEAN

public static final TypeInference.DataType BOOLEAN

Boolean/Dummy Variable. Stored as boolean.

ORDINAL

public static final TypeInference.DataType ORDINAL

Ordinal variable. Stored as short by convention.

NUMERICAL

public static final TypeInference.DataType NUMERICAL

Numerical variable. Any numeric except of short which is reserved for ordinal variables.

CATEGORICAL

public static final TypeInference.DataType CATEGORICAL

Categorical variable. Any value that is non numeric or boolean.

Method Detail

values

public static TypeInference.DataType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (TypeInference.DataType c : TypeInference.DataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static TypeInference.DataType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (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 type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

parse

public static Object parse(String s,
                           TypeInference.DataType dataType)

Takes a String and tries to translate it to the provided DataType. The result value is always casted to Object.

Parameters:

s -

dataType -

Returns:
