Deprecated. This breaks the class mechanism. Generally, it is awkward to have the ports of an actor depend on parameter values. Use UnaryMathFunction instead.

public class MathFunction
extends TypedAtomicActor

Produce an output token on each firing with a value that is equal to the specified math function of the input. The input and output types are DoubleToken. The functions are a subset of those in the java.lang.Math class. They are:

NOTES:

1. Some functions like exp, log, square, and sqrt act on a single operand only. Other functions like modulo act on two operands. The actor acquires a second input when the function is changed to modulo, and loses the input when the function is changed back.

2. There is an alternative to using the MathFunction.modulo() method If you want to use the IEEE remainder standard, use the Remainder actor.

Field Detail

function

public StringParameter function
Deprecated. 
The function to compute. This is a string-valued attribute that defaults to "exp".


firstOperand

public TypedIOPort firstOperand
Deprecated. 
The port for the first operand. The port has type BaseType.DOUBLE


secondOperand

public TypedIOPort secondOperand
Deprecated. 
The port for the second operand, if it is needed. The port has type BaseType.DOUBLE


output

public TypedIOPort output
Deprecated. 
Output port. The port has type BaseType.DOUBLE

Constructor Detail

MathFunction

public MathFunction(CompositeEntity container,
                    java.lang.String name)
             throws NameDuplicationException,
                    IllegalActionException
Deprecated. 
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException
Deprecated. 
Override the base class to determine which function is being specified.

Overrides:
attributeChanged in class NamedObj
Parameters:
attribute - The attribute that changed.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the function is not recognized.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Deprecated. 
Consume at most one input token from each input channel, and compute the specified math function of the input. If there is no input, then produce no output.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class AtomicActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

iterate

public int iterate(int count)
            throws IllegalActionException
Deprecated. 
Invoke a specified number of iterations of this actor. Each iteration computes the math function specified by the function parameter on a single token. An invocation of this method therefore applies the function to count successive input tokens.

This method should be called instead of the usual prefire(), fire(), postfire() methods when this actor is used in a domain that supports vectorized actors. This leads to more efficient execution.

Specified by:
iterate in interface Executable
Overrides:
iterate in class AtomicActor
Parameters:
count - The number of iterations to perform.
Returns:
COMPLETED if the actor was successfully iterated the specified number of times. Otherwise, return NOT_READY, and do not consume any input tokens.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class
