Record Class CharacterConstant

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Record
org.ek9lang.compiler.phase5.flow.CharacterConstant
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<CharacterConstant>
public record CharacterConstant(int codePoint) extends Record implements Comparable<CharacterConstant>
The value of a Character constant: one Unicode code point (Steve, 2026-11-04), ordered as the runtime orders Characters. Its own type, so a Character constant is never compared with an Integer one (ConstantValue decides only between two constants of the same kind).

  • Constructor Details

    • CharacterConstant

      public CharacterConstant(int codePoint)
      Creates an instance of a CharacterConstant record class.
      Parameters:
      codePoint - the value for the codePoint record component

  • Method Details

    • compareTo

      public int compareTo(CharacterConstant other)
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable<CharacterConstant>

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a string representation of this record class. The representation contains the name of the class, followed by the name and value of each of the record components.
      Specified by:
      toString in class Record
      Returns:
      a string representation of this object

    • hashCode

      public final int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code value for this object. The value is derived from the hash code of each of the record components.
      Specified by:
      hashCode in class Record
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object

    • equals

      public final boolean equals(Object o)
      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. The objects are equal if the other object is of the same class and if all the record components are equal. All components in this record class are compared with the compare method from their corresponding wrapper classes.
      Specified by:
      equals in class Record
      Parameters:
      o - the object with which to compare
      Returns:
      true if this object is the same as the o argument; false otherwise.

    • codePoint

      public int codePoint()
      Returns the value of the codePoint record component.
      Returns:
      the value of the codePoint record component
