Detailed Description

Implements the brackets in the program using a mcPolynomial to hold as content any polynomial.

Bracket derives from mcExpContainer because it can have an exponent. Because of its nature (a mcExpContainer and a container for a mcPolynomial class), this class is very simple because recalls methods of the underlying class. The only problem to solve for this class is the bracket's height: brackets must be adaptable to the height of the contained expression.

Member Function Documentation

int mcBracket::data_GetBracketDepth (   )  const [inline]
 

Definition at line 270 of file Bracket.h.

bool mcBracket::data_isValidContainerFor (  mcElementType  t  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Returns TRUE if this element can safely contain the given element type.

Without this function a lot of errors could be undetectable:

        mcPolynomial pol; // creates a new polynomial
        mcElement e(pol); // references it
        [...]    // the programmers forgots what "e" references
        mcFraction f(e);  // mcFraction wraps a mcPolynomialHelpers class !
        f.data_GetNum();  // CRASH

This function must be overridden by mcElement-derived classes in order to provide a list of the mcElementType it can safely contain.

Reimplemented from mcExpContainer.
