Returns the call symbols of this alphabet as a (sub-) alphabet.

Returns:

the call symbols of this alphabet

getCallSymbol

I getCallSymbol(int index)

The Alphabet.getSymbol(int) variant for the call alphabet. Note that the index must be relative to the call alphabet and not to this alphabet.

Parameters:

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol whose index should be determined

Returns:

the index of the given call symbol

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the provided symbol does not belong to the call alphabet.

getNumCalls

int getNumCalls()

The ArrayWritable.size() variant for the call alphabet.

Returns:

the number of call symbols

Returns the internal symbols of this alphabet as a (sub-) alphabet.

Returns:

the internal symbols of this alphabet

getInternalSymbol

I getInternalSymbol(int index)

The Alphabet.getSymbol(int) variant for the internal alphabet. Note that the index must be relative to the internal alphabet and not to this alphabet.

Parameters:

index - the index of the symbol

Returns:

the internal symbol at the given index

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no symbol with this index

getInternalSymbolIndex

int getInternalSymbolIndex(I symbol)

The Alphabet.getSymbolIndex(Object) variant for the internal alphabet. Note that the index is relative to the internal alphabet and not to this alphabet.

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol whose index should be determined

Returns:

the index of the given internal symbol

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the provided symbol does not belong to the internal alphabet.

getNumInternals

int getNumInternals()

The ArrayWritable.size() variant for the internal alphabet.

Returns:

the number of internal symbols

getReturnAlphabet

Alphabet<I> getReturnAlphabet()

Returns the return symbols of this alphabet as a (sub-) alphabet.

Returns:

the return symbols of this alphabet

getReturnSymbol

I getReturnSymbol(int index)

The Alphabet.getSymbol(int) variant for the return alphabet. Note that the index must be relative to the return alphabet and not to this alphabet.

Parameters:

index - the index of the symbol

Returns:

the return symbol at the given index

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no symbol with this index

getReturnSymbolIndex

int getReturnSymbolIndex(I symbol)

The Alphabet.getSymbolIndex(Object) variant for the return alphabet. Note that the index is relative to the return alphabet and not to this alphabet.

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol whose index should be determined

Returns:

the index of the given return symbol

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the provided symbol does not belong to the return alphabet.

getNumReturns

int getNumReturns()

Returns:

the number of return symbols

getSymbolType

VPAlphabet.SymbolType getSymbolType(I symbol)

Returns the symbol type of the given alphabet symbol.

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol whose type should be returned

Returns:

the symbol type of the given alphabet symbol.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the provided symbol does not belong to the alphabet.

isCallSymbol

default boolean isCallSymbol(I symbol)

Returns whether the given symbol is a call symbol of this alphabet.

Parameters:

symbol - the symbol to analyze

Returns:

true if the given symbol is a call symbol of this alphabet, false otherwise

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the provided symbol does not belong to the alphabet.

isInternalSymbol

default boolean isInternalSymbol(I symbol)

Returns whether the given symbol is an internal symbol of this alphabet.

Parameters:
