Hello all,

Can someone tell me how to include logical and arithmetic expressions within XExpressionOrVarDeclaration and generate code for them?

I get the following kind of error: The method ==(int) is undefined

Thanks a lot

Hi,

can you elaborate what you are actually doing? the operators == >= <= > < are already defined in xbase and are implemented by the xbase libary. so simply add this one to the classpath of the project that contains your model file (org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib)

Hello,

I want to write simple Boolean expressions such as : x == y && y > 10

In my grammar, I have tried the followings:

Condition returns XBlockExpression:
{Condition}
(expressions += XAndExpression)*

But this does not compile. we get the error "The method &&(boolean) is not defined".

We used normal XExpression and XExpressionOrVarDeclaration but get the same error.

How can we get a logical expression to parse, and generate Java code from it?

Thanks

Just to mention that if I use XExpressionOrVarDeclaration, and I try to write an "If" statement in my language, I cannot write a boolean expression as "if" condition. So, something is not working....

Hello,

Thanks, I added the libraries, so by having XExpressionOrVarDeclaration, I can write Boolean expressions.

However, what I actually want is when *defining* a method to have a boolean expression in its signature. Something like

op method(x>10&&y<10) {...}

How can we get this? In my grammar, I get the error that such expression is not allowed because it does not have side effects.

Thanks
