Constructor Detail

### Ceiling

    public Ceiling()

Method Detail

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Function name (for diagnostics)

  Specified by:
    `getName` in class `Function`
  Returns:
    the name of the function, as used in XSL expressions, but excluding its namespace prefix

### getDataType

    public int getDataType()

  Determine the data type of the expression

  Specified by:
    `getDataType` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    Value.NUMBER

### simplify

    public Expression simplify()
                        throws XPathException

  Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known

  Overrides:
    `simplify` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the simplified expression
    `XPathException`

### evaluateAsNumber

    public double evaluateAsNumber(Context c)
                            throws XPathException

  Evaluate the function in a numeric context

  Overrides:
    `evaluateAsNumber` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context
    `XPathException`

### evaluate

    public Value evaluate(Context c)
                   throws XPathException

  Evaluate in a general context

  Specified by:
    `evaluate` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context
    `XPathException`

### getDependencies

    public int getDependencies()

  Determine the dependencies

  Specified by:
    `getDependencies` in class `Expression`

### reduce

    public Expression reduce(int dep,
                             Context c)
                      throws XPathException

  Reduce the dependencies

  Specified by:
    `reduce` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `dep` - The dependencies to be removed, e.g. Context.VARIABLES
    `c` - The context to be used for the partial evaluation
  Returns:
    a new expression (or Value) that does not have any of the specified dependencies
    `XPathException`
