substitute
Description copied from interface:Formula
Returns a version of this formula such that any elements that appear in the given substitution are replaced.- Parameters:
substitution
- the substitution- Returns:
- a formula with replacements from the substitution
-
unify
Description copied from interface:Formula
Finds the bindings that would be necessary to make this formula the same as another formula (if any exist).- Parameters:
other
- the other formulabindings
- an existing set of bindings that will be added to- Returns:
- the bindings that would make both formulas the same, or null if so such bindings exist
-
isTrue
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Tests whether this proposition is true in the given state.- Parameters:
state
- the state in which to test this proposition- Returns:
- true if the proposition is true, false otherwise
-
makeTrue
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Modifies the given state object to make this proposition true. Note that some propositions (such asDisjunction
s) are non-deterministic, meaning there are multiple ways to make them true, and thus the state that would result from this operation is not clearly defined.- Parameters:
state
- the state to modify
-
simplify
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Returns an equivalent proposition which may be simpler.- Returns:
- the simplified proposition
-
negate
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Returns a proposition whose truth values are opposite of this proposition (i.e. true when this one is false, false when this one is true).- Returns:
- a proposition with opposite truth values
-
toCNF
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Converts this proposition to Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF). There are three kinds of formulas that are considered to be in CNF:- A
Literal
by itself - A
Disjunction
of literals, called a clause - A
Conjunction
of clauses
- Returns:
- an equivalent proposition in CNF
- A
-
toDNF
Description copied from interface:Proposition
Converts this proposition to Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF). There are three kinds of formulas that are considered to be in DNF:- A
Literal
by itself - A
Conjunction
of literals, called a clause - A
Disjunction
of clauses
- Returns:
- an equivalent proposition in DNF
- A
