Constructor Detail

Difference

public Difference()

Difference

public Difference(TupleExpr leftArg,
                  TupleExpr rightArg)

Creates a new minus operator that operates on the two specified arguments.

Parameters:

leftArg - The left argument of the minus operator.

rightArg - The right argument of the minus operator.

Method Detail

getBindingNames

public Set<String> getBindingNames()

Description copied from interface: TupleExpr

Gets the names of the bindings that are returned by this tuple expression when it is evaluated.

Returns:

A set of binding names.

visit

public <X extends Exception> void visit(QueryModelVisitor<X> visitor)
           throws X extends Exception

Description copied from interface: QueryModelNode

Visits this node. The node reports itself to the visitor with the proper runtime type.

Throws:

X extends Exception

clone

public Difference clone()

Description copied from interface: QueryModelNode

Returns a (deep) clone of this query model node. This method recursively clones the entire node tree, starting from this nodes.

Specified by:

clone in interface QueryModelNode

Specified by:

clone in interface TupleExpr

Overrides:

clone in class BinaryTupleOperator

Returns:

A deep clone of this query model node.
