Method Detail

getClone

public Measurement getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Measurement

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

See Also:

Object.clone()

getDomain

public String getDomain()

Get the domain string representing what this measurement's results will conform to.

Specified by:

getDomain in interface Measurement

Returns:

The Domain String representing the represenation of the measurement

getValue

public Type getValue(Algorithm algorithm)

Get the value of the measurement. The represenation of the measurement will be based on the domain string defined Measurement.getDomain()

Specified by:

getValue in interface Measurement

Parameters:

algorithm - The algorithm to obtain the measurement from.

Returns:

The Type representing the value of the measurement.
