Enum Class ClassConfidence

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ClassConfidence>

org.ek9lang.compiler.support.inputvariety.ClassConfidence

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ClassConfidence>, Constable

public enum ClassConfidence
extends Enum<ClassConfidence>

How trustworthy a type's value-class set is — the honesty tag for the input-variation metric.

See docs/implementation/EK9_INPUT_VARIATION_METRIC_DESIGN.md §3.2 and the companion taxonomy. The tier falls straight out of what operators / structure a type exposes, and the gradient is itself a useful signal: only EXACT cells are eligible for the optional packaging gate (design §8), so the compiler never mandates tests against a guessed denominator.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
EXACT	Class set AND value→class placement both unambiguous (enumerations, bounded scalars like Integer/Date/Money, ordered user types with declared reference points).
HEURISTIC	A reasonable guess at the meaningful classes — String buckets, unbounded ordered types, collection cardinality.
SET_UNSET_ONLY	Only set / unset honestly available (opaque identity types such as GUID/HMAC).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static ClassConfidence	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static ClassConfidence[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

EXACT

public static final ClassConfidence EXACT

Class set AND value→class placement both unambiguous (enumerations, bounded scalars like Integer/Date/Money, ordered user types with declared reference points). Gate-eligible.

HEURISTIC

public static final ClassConfidence HEURISTIC

A reasonable guess at the meaningful classes — String buckets, unbounded ordered types, collection cardinality. Reported, never hard-gated.

SET_UNSET_ONLY

public static final ClassConfidence SET_UNSET_ONLY

Only set / unset honestly available (opaque identity types such as GUID/HMAC). The denominator here is exactly 2.

Method Details

values

public static ClassConfidence[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ClassConfidence valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
