Class CountingResult

java.lang.Object
  edu.wwu.tobikley.acgc.algorithms.CountingResult

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable

public class CountingResult
extends Object
implements Comparable

Encapsulates the result of one iteration of a call of CountingAlgorithm.algorithm(). The following three pieces of information are included:

• The type of the result (either "Overall" or "i. Iteration",
• the result of the algorithm itself, and
• the runtime it took the algorithm to compute the result.

CountingResults are sorted by the result value.

Version:

1.0

Author:

Tobias Kley

Field Summary

private BigInteger	result The result itself.
private long	runTime The runtime it took the algorithm to compute the result.
private String	type The type of the result.

Constructor Summary

CountingResult(String type, BigInteger result, long runTime)
Creates a new instance of a counting result.

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Object o) CountingResults are compared by the value of their result.
BigInteger	getResult()
long	getRunTime()
String	getType()
String	toString() Returns [type]: [result] in [runTime].
