FOR-loop in OCL [message #489862] Tue, 06 October 2009 09:57 Go to next message

Hello folks,
I'm wondering if it is possible to simulate a for loop in OCL with an
index variable. I have to go through a list and compare the elements
with those of another list. My solution now looks like this:

self.parameter->forAll(param|
self.subscriber.operation.parameter->at(self.parameter->indexOf(param)).typeReference
= param.typeReference
)

Is there something or can you give me some hints how to improve the
above constraint?

best regards,
Gilbert

Hi, Gilbert,

The "iterate" expression provides a general-purpose iteration over a
collection, with the ability to accumulate arbitrary results.

For example,

Sequence{1..self.parameter->size()}->iterate(
i : Integer; badParams : Set(Parameter) = Set{} |
let param : self.parameter->at(i) in
if param.typeReference <>
self.subscriber.operation.parameter->at(i).typeReference
then
badParams->including(param)
else
badParams
endif)

Of course, this is more concise as a reject expression:

self.parameter->reject(param |
let i : Integer = self.parameter->indexOf(param) in
param.typeReference <>
self.subscriber.operation.parameter->at(i).typeReference)

but it should give you the general idea.

HTH,

Christian

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; else<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; badParams<BR>

I never got an ocl expression working when it contains LET axpressions.
For example I get the error that the defined variable isn't recognized.
