class table.Table(array: numpy.array, parser: cdmn.idply.Parser)

The table object represents decision and constraint tables.

Attr name:

str

Attr hit_policy:

str

Attr inputs:

List[np.array]

Attr outputs:

List[np.array]

Attr rules:

List[np.array]

export()

Export tries to find the hit policy for a table, and then returns the method needed to transfer the table to idp form. These hit policies are currently:

• A, U, F -> translate to definitions;

• E* -> translate to implications;

• C+, C<, C>, C# -> translate to aggregates.

Every hit policy has its own method.

Returns method:

the output of export method for the table.

find_auxiliary() → List[str]

Every output in a C# table needs to use an auxiliary variable to work correctly. This method makes a list of those output variables, so that the auxiliary versions can be created.

Returns List[str]:

property fstring: str

Method to decide the string format for a certain hit policy.

Returns str:

the format string.

variables_iq_oq(repres=None)

Method to generate the needed variables and quantifiers :returns variables, iquantors, oquantors: TODO

table.is_singular_value(string: str) → bool

Check whether a cell contains a singular value, such as “foo”. Specifically look for signs that there might be multiple values, such as “-”, “,”, …

Parameters:

string – the content of a cell in string form

Returns bool:

table.is_variable_introducing(string: str, variables: OrderedDict) → bool

Checks whether a column name is variable introducing. There’s two types of variable introducing columns:

1. Using “Type called T” syntax

2. Just using “Type”

Parameters:

string – the headerstring of a column.

Returns bool:

table.typeiname(string: str) → str

Function to return the type of a header in the form of “Type called var”

Parameters:

string – the headerstring of which the variable name needs to be found.

Returns str:

the variable name.

table.variname(string: str) → str

Function to return the variable of a header in the form of “Type called var”

Parameters:

string – the headerstring of which the variable name needs to be found.

Returns str:

the variable name.
