Method Detail

convertComparisonResult

protected abstract boolean convertComparisonResult(int cmpResult)

Converts a standard compare result (-1, 0, 1) to true or false according to subclass' comparison type.

evaluate

public ValueEval evaluate(int srcRowIndex,
                          int srcColumnIndex,
                          ValueEval arg0,
                          ValueEval arg1)

This is a description of how the relational operators apply in MS Excel. Use this as a guideline when testing/implementing the evaluate methods for the relational operators Evals.

 Bool.TRUE > any number.
 Bool > any string. ALWAYS
 Bool.TRUE > Bool.FALSE
 Bool.FALSE == Blank

 Strings are never converted to numbers or booleans
 String > any number. ALWAYS
 Non-empty String > Blank
 Empty String == Blank
 String are sorted dictionary wise

 Blank > Negative numbers
 Blank == 0
 Blank < Positive numbers
 

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Function2Arg

evaluateArray

public ValueEval evaluateArray(ValueEval[] args,
                               int srcRowIndex,
                               int srcColumnIndex)

Specified by:

evaluateArray in interface ArrayFunction

Parameters:

args - the evaluated function arguments. Empty values are represented with BlankEval or MissingArgEval, never null.

srcRowIndex - row index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

srcColumnIndex - column index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

Returns:

The evaluated result, possibly an ErrorEval, never null. Note - Excel uses the error code #NUM! instead of IEEE NaN, so when numeric functions evaluate to Double.NaN be sure to translate the result to ErrorEval.NUM_ERROR.
