    • 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.

    • VariableGenerator

      public VariableGenerator​(int n, double val)
      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.
      val - client specified value for the new Variable to have a randomly specified value too.

  • Method Details

    • 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
