public class Sub
extends Function
	<typeX> Sub(<typeX> lvalue, <typeX> rvalue)
 
Sub is a generic function that returns the result of subtracting both arguments. Sub needs to be Type instantiated during construction to work with particular argument Types. The supported argument Types include BYTE, SHORT, INT, LONG, FLOAT and DOUBLE.

Constructors

 o Sub
 public Sub(Type type)
Constructs a Sub Function that works with the specified Type. The supported Types include BYTE, SHORT, INT, LONG, FLOAT and DOUBLE.

Parameters:
type - The Type of this Sub Function.

Methods

 o evaluateByte
 public final byte evaluateByte(Individual i,
                                Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of BYTE Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
A byte representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateByte in class Function
 o evaluateShort
 public final short evaluateShort(Individual i,
                                  Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of SHORT Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
A short representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateShort in class Function
 o evaluateInt
 public final int evaluateInt(Individual i,
                              Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of INT Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
An int representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateInt in class Function
 o evaluateLong
 public final long evaluateLong(Individual i,
                                Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of LONG Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
A long representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateLong in class Function
 o evaluateFloat
 public final float evaluateFloat(Individual i,
                                  Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of FLOAT Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
A float representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateFloat in class Function
 o evaluateDouble
 public final double evaluateDouble(Individual i,
                                    Gene arguments[]) throws EvaluationException
Used to subtract arguments of DOUBLE Types.

Parameters:
i - The individual being evaluated.
arguments - The Gene trees representing the arguments to be added.
Returns:
A double representing the difference of the arguments.
Throws: EvaluationException
If there is an evaluation failure.
Overrides:
evaluateDouble in class Function
 o instance
 public final Primitive instance()
Creates an instance of this Sub object. The Type instantiation is preserved so that if an INT Sub is being cloned, the clone will also be INT instantiated.

Returns:
A reference to this Object (yes the same object, since the type information is to be the same, there are therefore no instance variables to be modified.
Overrides:
instance in class Primitive
 o toString
 public String toString()
Returns a String representation of this Function.

Returns:
A String containing the name of the Function.
Overrides:
toString in class Primitive
