Number

public Number(java.lang.String name)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

name - the name for tracing and debugging

execute

public void execute(Flags prefix,
                    Context context,
                    TokenSource source,
                    Typesetter typesetter)
             throws InterpreterException

Description copied from interface: Code

This method takes the first token and executes it. The result is placed on the stack. This operation might have side effects. To execute a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

execute in interface Code

Overrides:

execute in class AbstractCode

Throws:

InterpreterException

Code.execute( de.dante.extex.interpreter.Flags, de.dante.extex.interpreter.context.Context, de.dante.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, de.dante.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

expand

public void expand(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws InterpreterException

Description copied from interface: ExpandableCode

This method takes the first token and expands it. The result is placed on the stack. This means that expandable code does one step of expansion and puts the result on the stack. To expand a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

expand in interface ExpandableCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix flags controlling the expansion

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

InterpreterException - in case of an error
