## Detailed Description

A variable with a known value.

Known variables have an associated value. The value can be a simple number or a full mathematical expression. The known variable class is used both for variable values and constants.

The value can be provided as an expression in the form of a text string or as a mathematical value in the form of an object of the MathStructure class. The text string is parsed when needed, which saves time when loading many variable definitions which might not be used, at least not immediately.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ KnownVariable() [1/4]

KnownVariable::KnownVariable | ( | string | cat_,
|  | string | name_,
|  | const MathStructure & | o,
|  | string | title_ = `""`,
|  | bool | is_local = `true`,
|  | bool | is_builtin = `false`,
|  | bool | is_active = `true`
| ) |  |

Create a known variable with a value.

Parameters

  cat_ | Category that the variable belongs to.
  name_ | Initial name of the variable.
  o | Value.
  title_ | Descriptive name.
  is_local | If the variable is local/user-defined or global.
  is_builtin | If the variable is builtin and not modifiable.
  is_active | If the variable is active and can be used in expressions.

## ◆ KnownVariable() [2/4]

KnownVariable::KnownVariable | ( | string | cat_,
|  | string | name_,
|  | string | expression_,
|  | string | title_ = `""`,
|  | bool | is_local = `true`,
|  | bool | is_builtin = `false`,
|  | bool | is_active = `true`
| ) |  |

Create a known variable with an text string expression.

Parameters

  cat_ | Category that the variable belongs to.
  name_ | Initial name of the variable.
  expression_ | Expression.
  title_ | Descriptive name.
  is_local | If the variable is local/user-defined or global.
  is_builtin | If the variable is builtin and not modifiable.
  is_active | If the variable is active and can be used in expressions.

## ◆ KnownVariable() [3/4]

KnownVariable::KnownVariable | ( |  | ) |

Create an empty known variable. Primarily for internal use.

## ◆ KnownVariable() [4/4]

KnownVariable::KnownVariable | ( | const KnownVariable * | variable | ) |

Create a copy of a known variable.

Parameters

  variable | Known variable to copy.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ expression()

virtual string KnownVariable::expression | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns the variable's string expression or an empty string if it has not got an expression.

Returns
  The variable's expression.

## ◆ get()

virtual const MathStructure& KnownVariable::get | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Returns the value of the variable. If no value is set or parsed and an expression is set, the expression is parsed and resulting value returned.

Returns
  The value of the variable..

Reimplemented in DynamicVariable.

## ◆ isExpression()

virtual bool KnownVariable::isExpression | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns if the variable has an text string expression instead of a value.

Returns
  True if the variable has an expression instead of a value.

## ◆ isKnown()

bool KnownVariable::isKnown | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Returns if the variable has a known value (as oppossed to assumptions).

Returns
  true if the variable is of class KnownVariable, false if UnknownVariable.

Implements Variable.

## ◆ representsPositive()

virtual bool KnownVariable::representsPositive | ( | bool | = `false` | ) |
| virtual

Returns if the variable represents a positive value.

Reimplemented from Variable.

Reimplemented in NowVariable, YesterdayVariable, TomorrowVariable, TodayVariable, and DynamicVariable.

## ◆ set() [1/2]

virtual void KnownVariable::set | ( | const MathStructure & | o | ) |
| virtual

Sets the value of the variable. If expression is set, it is cleared.

Parameters

  o | Value.

Reimplemented in DynamicVariable.

## ◆ set() [2/2]

virtual void KnownVariable::set | ( | string | expression_ | ) |
| virtual

Sets the text string expression of the variable. The value is cleared.

Parameters

  expression_ | Expression.

Reimplemented in DynamicVariable.

## ◆ subtype()

int KnownVariable::subtype | ( |  | ) | const
| inline virtual

Returns the subtype of the variable, corresponding to which subsubclass the object belongs to.

Returns
  VariableSubtype.

Reimplemented from Variable.
