public class LogicGate
extends Transformer

Produce an output token on each firing with a value that is equal to the specified logic operator of the input(s). The functions are:

• and: The logical and operator. This is the default function for this actor.
• or: The logical or operator.
• xor: The logical xor operator.
• nand: The logical nand operator. Equivalent to the negation of and.
• nor: The logical nor operator. Equivalent to the negation of or.
• xnor: The logical xnor operator. Equivalent to the negation of xor.

NOTE: All operators have a single input port, which is a multiport, and a single output port, which is not a multiport. All ports have type boolean.

This actor does not require that each input channel have a token upon firing. As long as one channel contains a token, output will be produced. If no input tokens are available at all, then no output is produced. At most one token is consumed on each input channel.

Constructor Detail

LogicGate

public LogicGate(CompositeEntity container,
                 java.lang.String name)
          throws NameDuplicationException,
                 IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name. Set the logic function to the default ("and"). Set the types of the ports to boolean.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

Override the base class to determine which function is being specified. Read the value of the function attribute and set the cached value appropriately.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the function is not recognized.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Consume at most one input token from each input channel, and produce a token on the output port. If there is no input on any channel, then produce no output.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

_updateFunction

protected BooleanToken _updateFunction(BooleanToken in,
                                       BooleanToken old)
                                throws IllegalActionException

Calculate the function on the given arguments.

Parameters:

in - The new input value. Should never be null.

old - The old result value, or null if there is none.

Returns:

The result of applying the function.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by BooleanToken operations.
