Interface Algorithm


public interface Algorithm

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., "Beavis' 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.
 

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
getName should return your name and the name of your algorithm, e.g., "Beavis' implementation of SelectionSort".
Returns:
a String value

setPropertyExtractor

public 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.
Parameters:
algID - an int value - the ID assigned to the algorithm so that algorithm-specific properties can be extracted from the property file.
prop - a PropertyExtractor value
