Class Type<T extends Type<T>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - Class of type.
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    HierarchicalType, ParameterType
    public abstract class Type<T extends Type<T>>
extends java.lang.Object
    Superclass of all sorts of types, for example GTUType, ParameterType, etc. The only method in this class is isType() which should be used to check whether any type object of unknown type, is a specific type. For example: speedLimitType.isType(SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE).

    Note that it is not safe to use speedLimitType == SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE.

        public final boolean isType​(T type)
        Returns whether this type is the same type as the given type. Use this method to check for any kind of type (e.g. GTUType , ParameterType, etc.) whether an instance is a specific instance of the type. For example: speedLimitType.isType(SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE).

        Note that it is not safe to use speedLimitType == SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE.
        Parameters:
        type - T; type instance to compare to
