Constructor Detail

FolSignature

public FolSignature()

Creates an empty signature

FolSignature

public FolSignature(Collection<?> c)
             throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a signature with the given objects (should be sorts, constants, predicates, functors, or formulas).

Parameters:

c - a collection of items to be added.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if at least one of the given objects is neither a constant, a sort, a predicate, a functor, or a formula.

Method Detail

isSubSignature

public boolean isSubSignature(net.sf.tweety.commons.Signature other)

Specified by:

isSubSignature in class net.sf.tweety.commons.Signature

isOverlappingSignature

public boolean isOverlappingSignature(net.sf.tweety.commons.Signature other)

Specified by:

isOverlappingSignature in class net.sf.tweety.commons.Signature

add

public void add(Object obj)
         throws IllegalArgumentException

Adds the given object, either a constant, a sort, a predicate, or a functor, to this signature. If a constant is added its sort is added as well, the same is for any sort mentioned in predicates and functors. Alternatively, you can pass over a formula, then all predicates, sorts, constants, and functors of this formula are added to the signature.

Parameters:

obj - the object to be added, either a constant, a sort, a predicate, a functor, or a formula.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given object is neither a constant, a sort, a predicate, a functor, or a formula.

addAll

public void addAll(Collection<?> c)
            throws IllegalArgumentException

Adds items of the given collection to this signature. These should be either constants, sorts, predicates, or functors. Alternatively, you can pass over formulas, then all predicates, sorts, constants, and functors of this formula are added t the signature.

Parameters:

c - the collection of items to be added

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if at least one of the given objects is neither a constant, a sort, a predicate, a functor, or a formula.

isRepresentable

public boolean isRepresentable(FolFormula folFormula)

Checks whether the given formula can be represented by this signature.

Parameters:

folFormula - A formula to be checked.

Returns:

"true" if the given formula is representable, "false" otherwise.
