      • VariableGenerator

        public VariableGenerator​(int n,
                         boolean genValue)
        creates a new object of this class that can be used to generate Variables randomly
        Parameters:
        n - determines the number of characters that the Variable name will have.
        genValue - variable that determines if the client needs the randomly generated variable to have a randomly specified value too.

    • Method Detail

      • isGenValue

        public boolean isGenValue()
        Returns:
        the state of objects of this class that is whether or not they will randomly generate values for Variable objects.

      • setGenValue

        public void setGenValue​(boolean genValue)
        sets the state of objects of this class
        Parameters:
        genValue - the state of the object:that is whether or not they will randomly generate values for Variable objects.

      • codePieces

        public int codePieces​(java.lang.String aPiece)
        Parameters:
        aPiece - takes a String character that can form a valid part of the name of an object of class Variable and encodes it
        Returns:
        the code of the character

      • decodePiece

        public java.lang.String decodePiece​(int code)
        Parameters:
        code - the number code that hides a character or symbol that can form part of a Variable object's name property.
        Returns:
        returns the String character associated with a number code where the character is one that can form a part of the name of an object of class Variable
