All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Reduction>, Constable

public enum Reduction
extends Enum<Reduction>

Represents the possible reductions of a clause. A clause may be reduced to a smaller clause by omitting literals that are always true or by omitting the clause entirely if it is always false. Sometimes it is not possible to reduce the clause.

Method Details

values

public static Reduction[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Reduction valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:
