  • Method Details

    • toExpression

      Expression toExpression(Node node)
      Convert this function to an Expression that can be used in a query. The implementation must check that the node contains the correct number of children (ie. arguments to the function) and convert the arguments to whatever is suitable for the expression. Example from the Log2Function
      int numChildren = node.jjtGetNumChildren();
      if (numChildren != 1)
      {
         throw new BaseException("Invalid number of arguments for 'log2' function: " + numChildren);
      }
      return Expressions.log2(Jep.nodeToExpression(node.jjtGetChild(0)));
      
      Parameters:
      node - The node representing this function
      Returns:
      An Expression object
