Method Detail

matches

public boolean matches(java.util.List<java.lang.Object> args)

Parameters:

args - the arguments passed to the executor.

Returns:

true if the executor knows how to handle the given arguments, false otherwise.

public java.lang.Object execute(java.util.List<java.lang.Object> args,
                                TerpEvaluator eval,
                                TerpContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: Executor

Performs the executor's action on the given arguments in the given context. Typically, your custom executor will implement this method to provide its core functionality.

Parameters:

args - the arguments.

eval - the evaluator to use. Can frequently be null.

ctx - the context in which the execution occurs. Can frequently be null.

Returns:

the execution result.
