Hi All,
What is the best way to add the operation power(i: Integer): Integer to the primitive type Integer.
The only solution that I am able to envision is to define a new DataType (e.g. Integer_with_power) that generalise the DataType Integer and defines the operation power(i: Integer): Integer and define the body of this operation via OCL.
Is there any better way do achieve the same result?
Regards,
Roberto

Hi
Now that OCL standard libraries are extensible, the 'correct' way is to
use the Math.oclstdlib library. Unfortunately it's on the to-do list as
is a tutorial on how to do it. If you're enthusiastic you can look at
the *.oclstdlib extension libraries for OCL CG, or for QVTd or the JUnit
tests.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=415146
Also on the to-do list is the 'java:java.lang.Math.pow'(a, b) direct
from OCL invocation.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378206
The simplest way using OCLinEcore is to add a bogus class Math to your
model and define Math.pow(mantissa : Integer, expoent : Integer). If at
least one of your classes implements Math, you can use it as a bogus
self for self.pow(a, b).
Or in UML you can define a DataType with an OCLforUML::Integer
stereotype. No need to generalize Integer.
In either case you can implement the body in Java.
Using Complete OCL you can define the inefficient
package ocl
context Integer
def pow(Integer : b) = if b > 1 then self*pow(b-1) elseif b = 1 then
self else 1 endif
endpackage

Hi
Select a Package
UML Editor(on menu bar)->Package->Apply Profile...
