Detailed Description

Test for the string being a double. If bounds are given to the constructor, then the integer given also needs to be within the interval specified by these bounds. Note that unlike common convention in the C++ standard library, both bounds of this interval are inclusive; the reason is that in practice in most cases, one needs closed intervals, but these can only be realized with inclusive bounds for non-integer values. We thus stay consistent by always using closed intervals.

If the upper bound given to the constructor is smaller than the lower bound, then every double precision number is allowed.

Giving bounds may be useful if for example a value can only be positive and less than a reasonable upper bound (for example damping parameters are frequently only reasonable if between zero and one), or in many other cases.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Patterns::Double::Double ( const double  lower_bound = min_double_value,
const double  upper_bound = max_double_value 
)

Constructor. Bounds can be specified within which a valid parameter has to be. If the upper bound is smaller than the lower bound, then the entire set of double precision numbers is implied. The default values are chosen such that no bounds are enforced on parameters.

Definition at line 348 of file patterns.cc.

Member Function Documentation

bool Patterns::Double::match ( const std::string &  test_string) const
overridevirtual

Return true if the string is a number and its value is within the specified range.

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 356 of file patterns.cc.

std::string Patterns::Double::description ( const OutputStyle  style = Machine) const
overridevirtual

Return a description of the pattern that valid strings are expected to match. If bounds were specified to the constructor, then include them into this description.

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 379 of file patterns.cc.

std::unique_ptr< PatternBase > Patterns::Double::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return a copy of the present object, which is newly allocated on the heap. Ownership of that object is transferred to the caller of this function.

Implements Patterns::PatternBase.

Definition at line 479 of file patterns.cc.

std::unique_ptr< Double > Patterns::Double::create ( const std::string &  description)
static

Creates a new object on the heap using new if the given description is a valid format (for example created by calling description() on an existing object), or nullptr otherwise. Ownership of the returned object is transferred to the caller of this function, which should be freed using delete.

Definition at line 487 of file patterns.cc.

Member Data Documentation

const double Patterns::Double::min_double_value = -std::numeric_limits<double>::max()
static

Minimal double value used as default value, taken from std::numeric_limits.

Definition at line 292 of file patterns.h.

const double Patterns::Double::max_double_value = std::numeric_limits<double>::max()
static

Maximal double value used as default value, taken from std::numeric_limits.

Definition at line 298 of file patterns.h.

const double Patterns::Double::lower_bound
private

Value of the lower bound. A number that satisfies the match operation of this class must be equal to this value or larger, if the bounds of the interval form a valid range.

Definition at line 350 of file patterns.h.

const double Patterns::Double::upper_bound
private

Value of the upper bound. A number that satisfies the match operation of this class must be equal to this value or less, if the bounds of the interval form a valid range.

Definition at line 358 of file patterns.h.

const char * Patterns::Double::description_init = "[Double"
staticprivate

Initial part of description
