Constructor Detail

### InstanceOfExpression

    public InstanceOfExpression(Expression source,
                                SequenceType target)

Method Detail

### analyze

    public Expression analyze(StaticContext env,
                              ItemType contextItemType)
                       throws XPathException

  Type-check the expression

  Specified by:
    `analyze` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `analyze` in class `UnaryExpression`
  Returns:
    the checked expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

  Is this expression the same as another expression?

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `UnaryExpression`

### computeCardinality

    public int computeCardinality()

  Determine the cardinality

  Overrides:
    `computeCardinality` in class `UnaryExpression`

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  Determine the data type of the result of the InstanceOf expression

  Specified by:
    `getItemType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `UnaryExpression`
  Returns:
    the item type of the items in the result sequence, insofar as this is known statically.

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate the expression

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### effectiveBooleanValue

    public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                                  throws XPathException

  Evaluate the expression as a boolean

  Specified by:
    `effectiveBooleanValue` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `effectiveBooleanValue` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the effective boolean value
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### displayOperator

    protected java.lang.String displayOperator(NamePool pool)

  Give a string representation of the operator for use in diagnostics

  Specified by:
    `displayOperator` in class `UnaryExpression`
  Returns:
    the operator, as a string

### display

    public void display(int level,
                        NamePool pool,
                        java.io.PrintStream out)
