Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a copy of this symbol

Specified by:

clone in class AbstractSymbol

equalString

public boolean equalString(java.lang.String str,
                           int len)

Tests if the string argument is equal to the string in this symbol.

Parameters:

str - the string to compare

Returns:

true if the strings are equal

equalsIndex

public boolean equalsIndex(int index)

Tests if the index argument is equal to the index of this symbol. It is only meaningful to compare indecies of symbols from the same string table.

Parameters:

index - the index to compare

Returns:

true if the indecies are equal

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object another)

Tests if two symbols are equal. Symbol equality is equivalent to equality of their indecies, so it is only meaningful to compare symbols that came from the same string table.

Parameters:

another - the other symbol

Returns:

true if the symbols are equal

getString

public java.lang.String getString()

Returns the string representation of this symbol.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a printable representation of this symbol.
