Hi,
this is not a technical question, I just need help with OCL :'(
I'm trying to create an OCL expression to do the following. Suppose I have an Element "Statements" containing other
elements "Statement" via an 0..n reference, not ordered. A "Statement" element has a string attribute "expr". Now I need
to create a concatenated String with all the statement's string exprs separated by ' or '. However, there must not be an
"or" after the last one.
Example:
Model:
Statements
+-Statement,expr: "a=0"
+-Statement,expr: "b=3"
+-Statement,expr: "c=2"
Desired result:
"a=0 or b=3 or c=2"
Any ideas?
Thanks
Joel

Hi, Joel,
Questions of this nature are perfectly welcome, here. We like to keep
our OCL sharp. ;-)
Try this (assuming that the Statements property referencing the
Statement class is named "statement"):
self.statement->iterate(stmt; result : String = '' |
if result = '' then
stmt.expr
else
result.concat(' or ').concat(stmt.expr)
endif
Cheers,
Christian

Perfect, thanks!
I was always thinking to _append_ the ' or ' and thus I couldn't find a way to tell the last iteration.
Bad thinking me -- good thinking you :)
