Class BinOpUtils

General helper methods for binary operations on amoebot chains.

Syntax

Methods

GetChainPSetID(PinConfiguration, Direction, Direction, int, int)

Helper for getting the partition set IDs of connected chain circuits. This is useful at the start and end of the chain, where one of the two ends is not connected, so we cannot easily use the pin to find the partition set.

Declaration

public static int GetChainPSetID(PinConfiguration pc, Direction predDir, Direction succDir, int offset, int pinsPerEdge)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
PinConfiguration	pc	The pin configuration from which to get the partition set IDs.
Direction	predDir	The direction of the predecessor. NONE means there is no predecessor.
Direction	succDir	The direction of the chain successor. NONE means there is no successor.
int	offset	The pin distance of the connections. The offset is applied to the predecessor pin and inverted for the successor.
int	pinsPerEdge	The number of pins per edge used by the algorithm.

Returns

Type	Description
int	The ID of the chain circuit connecting the predecessor and successor at the given offset. -1 if there is neither a predecessor nor a successor.

MakeChainCircuit(PinConfiguration, Direction, Direction, int, int, bool)

Sets up a chain circuit by connecting or disconnecting the predecessor from the successor at the given pin offset. If partition sets are created, their IDs will always be one of the contained pin IDs.

Declaration

public static void MakeChainCircuit(PinConfiguration pc, Direction predDir, Direction succDir, int offset, int pinsPerEdge, bool connected)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
PinConfiguration	pc	The pin configuration to be modified.
Direction	predDir	The direction of the chain predecessor. NONE means there is no predecessor.
Direction	succDir	The direction of the chain successor. NONE means there is no successor.
int	offset	The pin distance of the connections. The offset is applied to the predecessor pin and inverted for the successor.
int	pinsPerEdge	The number of pins per edge used by the algorithm.
bool	connected	Whether the pins of the predecessor and successor should be connected. There will be no connection if the predecessor or successor direction is NONE.
