Method Detail

evaluate

java.lang.Object evaluate(Node node,
                          EvaluatorI pv)
                          throws ParseException

Performs some special evaluation on the node. This method has the responsibility for evaluating the children of the node and it should generally call

 pv.eval(node.jjtGetChild(i))   
 

for each child. The SymbolTable is not passed as an argument. This is because it is better practice to get and set variable values by using node.getVar().setValue() rather that through the SymbolTable with requires a hashtable lookup.

Parameters:

node - The current node

pv - The visitor, can be used evaluate the children

Returns:

the value after evaluation

Throws:

ParseException
