Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<R,E extends Expression<R>> R`	`resolvedValueOf(E expression)`	Retrieves the resolved value for the expression.
`<E extends Expression<?>> boolean`	`resolves(E expression)`	Checks if the expression is resolved within this context.
`int`	`size()`	Retrieves the amount of resolved values which are stored in the context.

- Method Detail
  - resolves
```
<E extends Expression<?>> boolean resolves(E expression)
```
    Checks if the expression is resolved within this context. Only if this method returns true, then it is safe to call the resolvedValueOf(Expression) method. An expression is seen as resolved, either if the context knows already the resolved value or, if the given expression is a resolved expression by itself.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expression - the expression for which to check if it is resolved
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the expression is resolved within the context, false if not
  - resolvedValueOf
```
<R,E extends Expression<R>> R resolvedValueOf(E expression)
```
    Retrieves the resolved value for the expression. This action can be completed, if the result of the given expression is already known within the context, or if the expression is a resolved expression itself.
    An IllegalArgumentException will be thrown, if the expression cannot be resolved within the context. Therefore it is mandatory to call the resolves(Expression) method first to check if the expression is resolved in the context.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expression - the expression for which to retrieve the resolved value
    
    Returns:
    
    the resolved value for the expression
  - size
```
int size()
```
    Retrieves the amount of resolved values which are stored in the context.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of stored resolved values
