Class BasicSymbolicChunkType

java.lang.Object
  org.jactr.core.chunktype.basic.BasicSymbolicChunkType

All Implemented Interfaces:

ISymbolicChunkType, ISlotContainer, IUniqueSlotContainer

public class BasicSymbolicChunkType
extends java.lang.Object
implements ISymbolicChunkType

default impl. All slots and parenting must be resolved before the given chunktype is encoded. parents must be encoded as well. chunks, however, can be added after encoding

Method Detail

dispose

public void dispose()

Description copied from interface: ISymbolicChunkType

Description of the Method

Specified by:

dispose in interface ISymbolicChunkType

getParent
