Interface Algorithm
is the top-level interface
from which is derived specific interfaces for particular algorithms.
Thus, a sorting algorithm will implement an interface derived from
this one.
Method Summary | |
java.lang.String |
getName()
getName should return your name and the name of your algorithm,
e.g., "Batman's implementation of SelectionSort". |
void |
setPropertyExtractor(int algID,
edu.gwu.util.PropertyExtractor prop)
setPropertyExtractor will be called by the simulator
with an instance of PropertyExtractor which an algorithm
can use to extract properties from the original properties file.
You do not need to have any code in this method if you aren't going
to use this parameter. Just implement the method signature with an
empty body.
