public static NumericConstraintPredicate notEqualTo()

lessThan

public static NumericConstraintPredicate lessThan()

greaterThan

public static NumericConstraintPredicate greaterThan()

lessThanOrEqualTo

public static NumericConstraintPredicate lessThanOrEqualTo()

greaterThanOrEqualTo

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(Term x,
                        Term y)

Overrides:

evaluate in class AbstractSingleResultPredicate

init

protected void init()

Description copied from class: AbstractSingleResultPredicate

This method is called by AbstractSingleResultPredicate.setKnowledgeBase(KnowledgeBase).

Can be overridden by subclasses to perform initialisation before any calls to AbstractSingleResultPredicate.evaluate(Term...) are made. As AbstractSingleResultPredicate.setKnowledgeBase(KnowledgeBase) will have already been called before this method is invoked, overridden versions will be able to access the KnowledgeBase using AbstractSingleResultPredicate.getKnowledgeBase().

Overrides:

init in class AbstractSingleResultPredicate

createConstraint

public org.projog.clp.Constraint createConstraint(Term[] args,
                                                  Set<org.projog.core.predicate.builtin.clp.ClpVariable> vars)

Specified by:
