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.

getName should return your name and the name of your algorithm,
e.g., "Beavis' implementation of SelectionSort".String value
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.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
