Class sublist

java.lang.Object
  jason.asSemantics.DefaultInternalAction
      jason.stdlib.sublist

All Implemented Interfaces:

InternalAction, java.io.Serializable

public class sublist
extends DefaultInternalAction

Internal action: .sublist(S,L).

Description: checks if some list S is a sublist of list L. If S has free variables, this internal action backtracks all possible values for S. This is based on .prefix and .suffix (try prefixes first then prefixes of each suffix).

Parameters:

• +/- sublist (list): the sublist to be checked.
• + list (list): the list where the sublist is from.

Examples:

• .sublist([a],[a,b,c]): true.
• .sublist([b],[a,b,c]): true.
• .sublist([c],[a,b,c]): true.
• .sublist([a,b],[a,b,c]): true.
• .sublist([b,c],[a,b,c]): true.
• .sublist([d],[a,b,c]): false.
• .sublist([a,c],[a,b,c]): false.
• .sublist(X,[a,b,c]): unifies X with any sublist of the list, i.e., [a,b,c], [a,b], [a], [b,c], [b], [c], and [] in this order; note that this is not the order in which its usual implementation would return in logic programming (see note on .prefix).

Description copied from interface: InternalAction

Executes the internal action. It should return a Boolean or an Iterator. A true boolean return means that the IA was successfully executed. An Iterator result means that there is more than one answer for this IA (e.g. see member internal action).
