public class ContainerSize
extends AbstractExpression

The containerSize operator takes A sub-expression with any base-type and either multiple or ordered cardinality. The result is an integer giving the number of values in the sub-expression, in other words, the size of the container. If the sub-expression is NULL the result is 0.

This operator can be used for determining how many choices were selected in A multiple-response choiceInteraction, for example.

Constructor Detail

ContainerSize

public ContainerSize(ExpressionParent parent)

Constructs expression.

Parameters:

parent - parent of this expression

Method Detail

getClassTag

public java.lang.String getClassTag()

Description copied from interface: XmlNode

Gets QTI class name of this node.

QTI class name has very important role during loading/saving nodes.

For example: Java class name is AssessmentTest; QTI class name is assessmentTest.

Specified by:

getClassTag in interface XmlNode

Specified by:

getClassTag in class AbstractNode

Returns:

QTI class name of this node

evaluateSelf

protected IntegerValue evaluateSelf(int depth)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

Evaluates this expression. All children must be already evaluated. Contains no checks.

Specified by:

evaluateSelf in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

depth - depth of this expression in expression tree (root's depth = 0)

Returns:

result of evaluation
