Constructor Detail

DefaultCogxel

public DefaultCogxel(SemanticIdentifier identifier)

Creates a new instance of Cogxel. The default activation is 0.0.

Parameters:

identifier - The SemanticIdentifier for the Cogxel.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If an invalid identifier is given.

DefaultCogxel

public DefaultCogxel(SemanticIdentifier identifier,
                     double activation)

Creates a new instance of Cogxel.

Parameters:

identifier - The SemanticIdentifier for the Cogxel.

activation - The initial activation for the Cogxel.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If an invalid identifier is given.

DefaultCogxel

public DefaultCogxel(DefaultCogxel other)

Creates a copy of a given Cogxel.

Parameters:

other - The Cogxel to copy.

Method Detail

clone

public DefaultCogxel clone()

This makes public the clone method on the Object class and removes the exception that it throws. Its default behavior is to automatically create a clone of the exact type of object that the clone is called on and to copy all primitives but to keep all references, which means it is a shallow copy. Extensions of this class may want to override this method (but call super.clone() to implement a "smart copy". That is, to target the most common use case for creating a copy of the object. Because of the default behavior being a shallow copy, extending classes only need to handle fields that need to have a deeper copy (or those that need to be reset). Some of the methods in ObjectUtil may be helpful in implementing a custom clone method. Note: The contract of this method is that you must use super.clone() as the basis for your implementation.
