Interface Gen<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Gen<T>

Interface for all generators.

Implementing classes must have a zero-argument constructor if it should be used directly in @Generator annotations.

Method Summary

T	arbitrary(java.util.Random random, long size) Returns an arbitrary object of type T.

Method Detail

arbitrary

T arbitrary(java.util.Random random,
            long size)

Returns an arbitrary object of type T. The object should not have a size greater than size (or smaller than -size). What the size actually referrs to depends on the implementation, but it could be the number of nodes in a tree, pixels in an image etc.

The supplied random generator should be the only source of randomness used in the generator.

Parameters:

random - the random generator that should be used when randomness is needed.

size - the limiting factor

Returns:

a random object
