Constructor Detail

ParseNode

public ParseNode(Parser p,
         int start,
         int end,
         int type)

Creates a new instance of ParseNode for a multi-word subphrase. Constructor for an expansion rule.

Parameters:

p - PhraseParser containing the phrase to be parsed

start - index to the first word of the subphrase

end - index to the last word of the subphrase

type - subphrase type present in the phrase from start to end

ParseNode

public ParseNode(Parser p,
         int index,
         int pos)

Creates a new parse node for a single word subphrase. Constructor for a terminal.

Parameters:

p - PhraseParser containing the phrase to be parsed

index - to the first word whose part of speech is being identified

pos - enumerated part of speech that maps to the word being identified

Method Detail

addChildren

public void addChildren(ParseNode left,
               ParseNode right)

Adds child nodes for A -> BC form parses

Parameters:

left - node to be added as the left child (B)

right - node to be added as the right node (C)

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object parseNode2)

Recursively compares two ParseNode objects for equivalent content

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Parameters:

parseNode2 - second parseNode for comparison with first

depth

public int depth()

Recursively computes the depth of the tree from the current node down

Returns:

depth value

toString

public String toString()

Converts the parse node (and children) to a String

Overrides:

toString in class Object
