Constructor Detail

ExtendedVBLanguage

public ExtendedVBLanguage(com.topcoder.shared.language.Language lang)

Creates a new instance of the ExtendedLanguage that uses settings from the given TC Language. This object will behave strangely if lang is not a VBLanguage instance.

ExtendedVBLanguage

public ExtendedVBLanguage()

Creates a new instance of the ExtendedLanguage that uses TC's singleton VB language instance.

Method Detail

getSkeleton

public kawigi.language.Skeleton getSkeleton(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp)

Returns at a class and method declaration, with a main method that has testing code. As some of my first Visual Basic code comes out of this method, I wouldn't be offended if someone else came and reimplemented it, but it at least seems to generate correct code, so we'll leave it at that for now.

Specified by:

getSkeleton in interface ExtendedLanguage

getTemplateCode

public java.lang.String getTemplateCode(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp,
                                        com.topcoder.shared.language.Language lang)

The templatable method for Visual Basic templates.

generateTestingCode

protected java.lang.String generateTestingCode(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp,
                                               com.topcoder.shared.language.Language lang)

Returns the testing code for the problem statement's default testing cases.

toTest

protected java.lang.String toTest(com.topcoder.shared.problem.TestCase test,
                                  com.topcoder.shared.problem.DataType[] types)

Quick utility function to provide the code that should return the parameter list for the function.

translateObject

protected static java.lang.String translateObject(java.lang.String type,
                                                  java.lang.String value)

Quck utility function to convert a string value from TC to code that creates that value in VB.

makeParamList

protected java.lang.String makeParamList(com.topcoder.shared.problem.DataType[] types,
                                         java.lang.String[] names,
                                         java.lang.String passing)

Returns a string in the format , , etc.

getCompileCommand

public java.lang.String getCompileCommand(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp)

Returns the command that should be used to compile the file. Ideally, this won't be platform-specific, but realistically, some people use different compilers than others completely. It may be possible at some point to allow this to be configured. And how platform-independent is Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, anyways?

Specified by:

getCompileCommand in interface ExtendedLanguage

getRunCommand

public java.lang.String getRunCommand(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp,
                                      java.io.File cwd)

Returns the command that should be used to run the program and test cases. Again, some care will need to be taken to make this part platform-happy.

Specified by:

getRunCommand in interface ExtendedLanguage

getFileName

public java.lang.String getFileName(com.topcoder.shared.problem.ProblemComponent comp)

Returns the filename that the source file should be saved as. You may assume that this is the actual filename used when creating the compile and run commands.

Specified by:

getFileName in interface ExtendedLanguage

getViewClass

public java.lang.Class getViewClass()

Returns the class of the VB implementation of a View

Specified by:

getViewClass in interface ExtendedLanguage

getTemplate

public kawigi.template.Template getTemplate()

Returns the KTT template representing how this class is templated.

Specified by:

getTemplate in interface Templatable

getNativeTagLibrary

public kawigi.template.TagLibrary getNativeTagLibrary()

Returns a library of tags that may come in useful for writing templates extending this class.

Specified by:

getNativeTagLibrary in interface Templatable

getDefaultTemplateCode

public java.lang.String getDefaultTemplateCode()

Returns the text of a default template.
