java.lang.Object
org.projog.core.predicate.builtin.list.Reverse
All Implemented Interfaces:
PredicateFactory
public final class Reverse extends Object implements PredicateFactory
reverse(X,Y) - reverses the order of elements in a list.

The reverse(X,Y) goal succeeds if the elements of list X are in reverse order of the elements in list Y.

    • isRetryable

      public boolean isRetryable()
      Description copied from interface: PredicateFactory
      Should instances of this implementation be re-evaluated when backtracking?

      Some goals (e.g. X is 1) are only meant to be evaluated once (the statement is either true or false) while others (e.g. repeat(3)) are meant to be evaluated multiple times. For instances of Predicate that are designed to possibly have Predicate.evaluate() called on them multiple times for the same individual query this method should return true. For instances of Predicate that are designed to only be evaluated once per individual query this method should return false.

      Specified by:
      isRetryable in interface PredicateFactory
      Returns:
      true if an attempt should be made to re-evaluate instances of implementing classes when backtracking, false otherwise
