Detailed Description

A set of booleans.

Note that there are only four possible such sets. NBoolSet objects are small enough to pass about by value instead of by reference.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

regina::NBoolSet::NBoolSet (   )  [inline]

Creates a new empty set.

regina::NBoolSet::NBoolSet (  bool  member  )  [inline]

Creates a set containing a single member as given. Parameters: member  the single element to include in this set.

regina::NBoolSet::NBoolSet (  const NBoolSet &  cloneMe  )  [inline]

Creates a set equal to the given set. Parameters: cloneMe  the set upon which we will base the new set.

regina::NBoolSet::NBoolSet (  bool  insertTrue, bool  insertFalse )  [inline]

Creates a set specifying whether true and/or false should be a member. Parameters: insertTrue  should the new set include the element true? insertFalse  should the new set include the element false?

Member Function Documentation

bool regina::NBoolSet::contains (  bool  value  )  const [inline]

Determines if the given boolean is a member of this set. Parameters: value  the boolean to search for in this set. Returns: true if and only if the given boolean is a member of this set.

void regina::NBoolSet::empty (   )  [inline]

Removes all elements from this set.

void regina::NBoolSet::fill (   )  [inline]

Places both true and false into this set if they are not already present.

NBoolSet regina::NBoolSet::fromByteCode (  unsigned char  code  )  [inline, static]

Creates a boolean set from the given byte code. See getByteCode() for more information on byte codes. Precondition: code is 0, 1, 2 or 3. Parameters: code  the byte code from which the new set will be created.

unsigned char regina::NBoolSet::getByteCode (   )  const [inline]

Returns the byte code representing this boolean set. The byte code is sufficient to reconstruct the set and is thus a useful means for passing boolean sets to and from the engine. The lowest order bit of the byte code is 1 if and only if true is in the set. The next lowest order bit is 1 if and only if false is in the set. All other bits are 0. Thus sets NBoolSet::sNone, NBoolSet::sTrue, NBoolSet::sFalse and NBoolSet::sBoth have byte codes 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Returns: the byte code representing this set.

bool regina::NBoolSet::hasFalse (   )  const [inline]

Determines if false is a member of this set. Returns: true if and only if false is a member of this set.

bool regina::NBoolSet::hasTrue (   )  const [inline]

Determines if true is a member of this set. Returns: true if and only if true is a member of this set.

void regina::NBoolSet::insertFalse (   )  [inline]

Inserts false into this set if it is not already present.

void regina::NBoolSet::insertTrue (   )  [inline]

Inserts true into this set if it is not already present.

NBoolSet regina::NBoolSet::operator & (  const NBoolSet &  other  )  const [inline]
