Method Detail

impact

State impact(java.util.Collection<State> states)

Calculates and returns the collective impact of applying the input states to the current environment.

Parameters:

states - the input states

Returns:

the resulting state

sameStateSpace

boolean sameStateSpace(State other)

Verifies if the specified state belongs to the same state space as this.

Returns true if this state and other are in the same state space, false otherwise.

Parameters:

other - the other state

Returns:

true if in same state space, false otherwise.

partiallyEquals

boolean partiallyEquals(State state)

Checks whether this state contains all state descriptors of the input state.

Parameters:

state - input state

Returns:

true if all state descriptors are included
