Libraries.Data.Formats.AttributesImplementation

The AttributesImplementation class is used to represent an array of Attributes that have been Parsed from an XML document. Like the Array class, the location always starts at 0, this means the first item in the attributes is at location 0, the second is at location 1, etc.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats

Attribute data
data:name = "day"
data:value = "01"
AttributesImplementation myAttributes
myAttributes:Add(data)
text value = myAttributes:GetName(0)

This action adds a value at the end of the array of attributes.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        Attribute data
        data:name = "day"
        data:value = "01"
        AttributesImplementation myAttributes
        myAttributes:Add(data)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action empty's the array of attributes, clearing out all of the items contained within it.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        AttributesImplementation myAttributes
        Attribute firstName
        Attribute lastName
        Attribute dob
        myAttributes:Add(firstName)
        myAttributes:Add(lastName)
        myAttributes:Add(dob)
        myAttributes:Empty()

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action gets the name of the Attribute at the given location in the indexed array of Attributes.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        AttributesImplementation myAttributes
        Attribute data
        data:name = "day"
        myAttributes:Add(data)
        text value = myAttributes:GetName(0)

This action gets the size of the array of Attributes.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        AttributesImplementation myAttributes
        integer size = myAttributes:GetSize()

This action gets the value of the Attribute at the given location in the indexed array of Attributes.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Formats
        AttributesImplementation myAttributes
        Attribute data
        data:value = "01"
        myAttributes:Add(data)
        text value = myAttributes:GetValue(0)
