Description

The And class is a process which has an infinite loop that waits a Object of type Number to be sent down each of the in1 and in2 Channels. The process then calculates the bitwise AND on the intValue() of the two Numbers then write the result as a new Integer down the out Channel.

Channel Protocols

Input Channels
in1,in2	java.lang.Number	Both Channels can accept data from any subclass of Number. It is possible to send Floats down one channel and Integers down the other. However all values will be converted to ints.
Output Channels
out	java.lang.Integer	The output will always be of type Integer.

Example

The following example shows how to use the And process in a small program. The program also uses some of the other building block processes. The program generates a sequence of numbers and rounds each odd number down to the nearest even number and prints this on the screen.

 import jcsp.lang.*;
 import jcsp.util.*;
 public class AndExample {
   public static void main(String[] argv) {
     Channel a = new One2OneChannel();
     Channel b = new One2OneChannel();
     Channel c = new One2OneChannel();
     new Parallel(new CSProcess[] {
       new Nos(a),
       new And(a, b, c),
       new Printer(c),
       new CSProcess() {
         public void run() {
           Integer andVal = new Integer(Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1);
           while (true) {
             b.write(andVal);
           }
         }
       }
     }).run();
   }
 }

And(ChannelInput, ChannelInput, ChannelOutput): Construct a new And process with the input Channels in1 and in2 and the output Channel out.

run(): The main body of this process.

And

 public And(ChannelInput in1,
            ChannelInput in2,
            ChannelOutput out)

Construct a new And process with the input Channels in1 and in2 and the output Channel out. The ordering of the Channels in1 and in2 make no difference to the functionality of this process.

Parameters:: in1 - The first input Channel; in2 - The second input Channel; out - The output Channel

run

 public void run()

The main body of this process.
