Class Automaton.Builder

  • Enclosing class:
    Automaton

    public static class Automaton.Builder
    extends Object
    Records new states and transitions and then finish() creates the Automaton. Use this when you cannot create the Automaton directly because it's too restrictive to have to add all transitions leaving each state at once.

    • Method Detail

      • addTransition

        public void addTransition​(int source,
                                  int dest,
                                  int label)
        Add a new transition with min = max = label.
      • addTransition

        public void addTransition​(int source,
                                  int dest,
                                  int min,
                                  int max)
        Add a new transition with the specified source, dest, min, max.
      • addEpsilon

        public void addEpsilon​(int source,
                               int dest)
        Add a [virtual] epsilon transition between source and dest. Dest state must already have all transitions added because this method simply copies those same transitions over to source.
      • finish

        public Automaton finish()
        Compiles all added states and transitions into a new Automaton and returns it.
      • createState

        public int createState()
        Create a new state.
      • setAccept

        public void setAccept​(int state,
                              boolean accept)
        Set or clear this state as an accept state.
      • isAccept

        public boolean isAccept​(int state)
        Returns true if this state is an accept state.
      • getNumStates

        public int getNumStates()
        How many states this automaton has.
      • copy

        public void copy​(Automaton other)
        Copies over all states/transitions from other.
      • copyStates

        public void copyStates​(Automaton other)
        Copies over all states from other.
