Method Detail

validate

public void validate(ParseTreeContext context)

INTERNAL Validate the current node and calculates its type.

Overrides:

validate in class BinaryOperatorNode

generateExpression

public Expression generateExpression(GenerationContext context)

INTERNAL Resolve the expression. The steps are: 1. Set the expressionBuilder for the left and right nodes 2. Generate the expression for the left node 3. Add the .greaterThan to the where clause returned from step 2 4. Generate the expression for the right side and use it as the parameter for the .greaterThan() 5. Return the completed where clause to the caller

Overrides:

generateExpression in class Node

getAsString

public String getAsString()

INTERNAL Get the string representation of this node.

Overrides:

getAsString in class Node
