Definition​
Operators in the GAML language are used to compose complex expressions. An operator performs a function on one, two, or n operands (which are other expressions and thus may be themselves composed of operators) and returns the result of this function.
Most of them use a classical prefixed functional syntax (i.e. operator_name(operand1, operand2, operand3)
, see below), with the exception of arithmetic (e.g. +
, /
), logical (and
, or
), comparison (e.g. >
, <
), access (.
, [..]
) and pair (::
) operators, which require an infixed notation (i.e. operand1 operator_symbol operand1
).
The ternary functional if-else operator, ? :
, uses a special infixed syntax composed with two symbols (e.g. operand1 ? operand2 : operand3
). Two unary operators (-
and !
) use a traditional prefixed syntax that does not require parentheses unless the operand is itself a complex expression (e.g. - 10
, ! (operand1 or operand2)
).
Finally, special constructor operators ({...}
for constructing points, [...]
for constructing lists and maps) will require their operands to be placed between their two symbols (e.g. {1,2,3}
, [operand1, operand2, ..., operandn]
or [key1::value1, key2::value2... keyn::valuen]
).
With the exception of these special cases above, the following rules apply to the syntax of operators:
- if they only have one operand, the functional prefixed syntax is mandatory (e.g.
operator_name(operand1)
) - if they have two arguments, either the functional prefixed syntax (e.g.
operator_name(operand1, operand2)
) or the infixed syntax (e.g.operand1 operator_name operand2
) can be used. - if they have more than two arguments, either the functional prefixed syntax (e.g.
operator_name(operand1, operand2, ..., operand)
) or a special infixed syntax with the first operand on the left-hand side of the operator name (e.g.operand1 operator_name(operand2, ..., operand)
) can be used.
All of these alternative syntaxes are completely equivalent.
Operators in GAML are purely functional, i.e. they are guaranteed to not have any side effects on their operands. For instance, the shuffle
operator, which randomizes the positions of elements in a list, does not modify its list operand but returns a new shuffled list.
Priority between operators​
The priority of operators determines, in the case of complex expressions composed of several operators, which one(s) will be evaluated first.
GAML follows in general the traditional priorities attributed to arithmetic, boolean, comparison operators, with some twists. Namely:
- the constructor operators, like
::
, used to compose pairs of operands, have the lowest priority of all operators (e.g.a > b :: b > c
will return a pair of boolean values, which means that the two comparisons are evaluated before the operator applies. Similarly,[a > 10, b > 5]
will return a list of boolean values. - it is followed by the
?:
operator, the functional if-else (e.g.a > b ? a + 10 : a - 10
will return the result of the if-else). - next are the logical operators,
and
andor
(e.g.a > b or b > c
will return the value of the test) - next are the comparison operators (i.e.
>
,<
,<=
,>=
,=
,!=
) - next the arithmetic operators in their logical order (multiplicative operators have a higher priority than additive operators)
- next the unary operators
-
and!
- next the access operators
.
and[]
(e.g.{1,2,3}.x > 20 + {4,5,6}.y
will return the result of the comparison between the x and y ordinates of the two points) - and finally the functional operators, which have the highest priority of all.
Using actions as operators​
Actions defined in species can be used as operators, provided they are called on the correct agent. The syntax is that of normal functional operators, but the agent that will perform the action must be added as the first operand.
For instance, if the following species is defined:
species spec1 {
int min(int x, int y) {
return x > y ? x : y;
}
}
Any agent instance of spec1 can use min
as an operator (if the action conflicts with an existing operator, a warning will be emitted). For instance, in the same model, the following line is perfectly acceptable:
global {
init {
create spec1;
spec1 my_agent <- spec1[0];
int the_min <- my_agent min(10,20); // or min(my_agent, 10, 20);
}
}
If the action doesn't have any operands, the syntax to use is my_agent the_action()
. Finally, if it does not return a value, it might still be used but is considering as returning a value of type unknown
(e.g. unknown result <- my_agent the_action(op1, op2);
).
Note that due to the fact that actions are written by modelers, the general functional contract is not respected in that case: actions might perfectly have side effects on their operands (including the agent).

Result:​
Returns the difference of the two operands. If it is used as an unary operator, it returns the opposite of the operand.
Comment:​
The behavior of the operator depends on the type of the operands.
Special cases:​
- if both operands are containers and the right operand is empty, - returns the left operand
- if the left operand is a species and the right operand is an agent of the species, - returns a list containing all the agents of the species minus this agent
- if both operands are colors, returns a new color resulting from the subtraction of the two operands, component by component
rgb var18 <- rgb([255, 128, 32]) - rgb('red'); // var18 equals rgb([0,128,32])
- if both operands are containers, returns a new list in which all the elements of the right operand have been removed from the left one
list<int> var19 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] - [2,4,9]; // var19 equals [1,3,5,6]
list<int> var20 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] - [0,8]; // var20 equals [1,2,3,4,5,6]
- if both operands are dates, returns the duration in seconds between date2 and date1. To obtain a more precise duration, in milliseconds, use milliseconds_between(date1, date2)
float var21 <- date('2000-01-02') - date('2000-01-01'); // var21 equals 86400
- if left-hand operand is a point and the right-hand a number, returns a new point with each coordinate as the difference of the operand coordinate with this number.
point var22 <- {1, 2} - 4.5; // var22 equals {-3.5, -2.5, -4.5}
point var23 <- {1, 2} - 4; // var23 equals {-3.0,-2.0,-4.0}
- if the left-hand operand is a geometry and the right-hand operand a float, returns a geometry corresponding to the left-hand operand (geometry, agent, point) reduced by the right-hand operand distance
geometry var24 <- shape - 5; // var24 equals a geometry corresponding to the geometry of the agent applying the operator reduced by a distance of 5
- if both operands are numbers, performs a normal arithmetic difference and returns a float if one of them is a float.
int var25 <- 1 - 1; // var25 equals 0
- if one operand is a matrix and the other a number (float or int), performs a normal arithmetic difference of the number with each element of the matrix (results are float if the number is a float.
matrix var26 <- 3.5 - matrix([[2,5],[3,4]]); // var26 equals matrix([[1.5,-1.5],[0.5,-0.5]])
- if one operand is a color and the other an integer, returns a new color resulting from the subtraction of each component of the color with the right operand
rgb var27 <- rgb([255, 128, 32]) - 3; // var27 equals rgb([252,125,29])
- if one of the operands is a date and the other a number, returns a date corresponding to the date minus the given number as duration (in seconds)
date var28 <- date('2000-01-01') - 86400; // var28 equals date('1999-12-31')
- if the right-operand is a list of points, geometries or agents, returns the geometry resulting from the difference between the left-geometry and all of the right-geometries
geometry var29 <- rectangle(10,10) - [circle(2), square(2)]; // var29 equals rectangle(10,10) - (circle(2) + square(2))
- if both operands are points, returns their difference (coordinates per coordinates).
point var30 <- {1, 2} - {4, 5}; // var30 equals {-3.0, -3.0}
- if both operands are a point, a geometry or an agent, returns the geometry resulting from the difference between both geometries
geometry var31 <- geom1 - geom2; // var31 equals a geometry corresponding to difference between geom1 and geom2
- if the left operand is a list and the right operand is an object of any type (except list), - returns a list containing the elements of the left operand minus the first occurence of this object
list<int> var32 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6,2] - 2; // var32 equals [1,3,4,5,6,2]
list<int> var33 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] - 0; // var33 equals [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Examples:​
point var0 <- {2.0,3.0,4.0} - 1; // var0 equals {1.0,2.0,3.0}
float var1 <- 1.0 - 1.0; // var1 equals 0.0
float var2 <- 3.7 - 1.2; // var2 equals 2.5
float var3 <- 3.0 - 1.2; // var3 equals 1.8
matrix var4 <- (10.0 - (3.0 as_matrix({2,3}))); // var4 equals matrix([[7.0,7.0,7.0],[7.0,7.0,7.0]])
date var5 <- date('2000-01-01') - 86400; // var5 equals date('1999-12-31')
point var6 <- -{3.0,5.0}; // var6 equals {-3.0,-5.0}
point var7 <- -{1.0,6.0,7.0}; // var7 equals {-1.0,-6.0,-7.0}
map var8 <- ['a'::1,'b'::2] - ['b'::2]; // var8 equals ['a'::1]
map var9 <- ['a'::1,'b'::2] - ['b'::2,'c'::3]; // var9 equals ['a'::1]
map var10 <- ['a'::1,'b'::2] - ('b'::2); // var10 equals ['a'::1]
map var11 <- ['a'::1,'b'::2] - ('c'::3); // var11 equals ['a'::1,'b'::2]
float var12 <- 1 - 1.0; // var12 equals 0.0
float var13 <- 3 - 1.2; // var13 equals 1.8
int var14 <- - (-56); // var14 equals 56
float var15 <- 1.0 - 1; // var15 equals 0.0
float var16 <- 3.7 - 1; // var16 equals 2.7
float var17 <- 3.0 - 1; // var17 equals 2.0

Comment:​
accumulate is dedicated to the application of a same computation on each element of a container (and returns a list). In the right-hand operand, the keyword each can be used to represent, in turn, each of the left-hand operand elements.
Examples:​
list var0 <- [a1,a2,a3] accumulate (each neighbors_at 10); // var0 equals a flat list of all the neighbors of these three agents
list<int> var1 <- [1,2,4] accumulate ([2,4]); // var1 equals [2,4,2,4,2,4]

produces a new map from the evaluation of the right-hand operand for each element of the left-hand operand
Comment:​
the right-hand operand should be a pair
Special cases:​
- if the left-hand operand is nil, as_map throws an error.
Examples:​
map<int,int> var0 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] as_map (each::(each * 2)); // var0 equals [1::2, 2::4, 3::6, 4::8, 5::10, 6::12, 7::14, 8::16]
map<int,int> var1 <- [1::2,3::4,5::6] as_map (each::(each * 2)); // var1 equals [2::4, 4::8, 6::12]
as_matrix
​
Possible uses:​
unknown
as_matrix
point
--->matrix
as_matrix
(unknown
,point
) --->matrix
Result:​
casts the left operand into a matrix with right operand as preferred size
Comment:​
This operator is very useful to cast a file containing raster data into a matrix.Note that both components of the right operand point should be positive, otherwise an exception is raised.The operator as_matrix creates a matrix of preferred size. It fills in it with elements of the left operand until the matrix is full If the size is to short, some elements will be omitted. Matrix remaining elements will be filled in by nil.
Special cases:​
- if the right operand is nil, as_matrix is equivalent to the matrix operator

as_path
​
Possible uses:​
list<geometry>
as_path
graph
--->path
as_path
(list<geometry>
,graph
) --->path
Result:​
create a graph path from the list of shape
Examples:​
path var0 <- [road1,road2,road3] as_path my_graph; // var0 equals a path road1->road2->road3 of my_graph
as_spatial_graph
​
Possible uses:​
as_spatial_graph
(graph
) --->gama.core.metamodel.topology.graph.ISpatialGraph
Result:​
Creates a spatial graph out of an arbitrary graph. If the argument is already a spatial graph, returns it unchanged. If it contains geometrical nodes or edges, they are kept unchanged
asin
​
Possible uses:​
asin
(float
) --->float
asin
(int
) --->float
Result:​
the arcsin of the operand
Special cases:​
- if the right-hand operand is outside of the [-1,1] interval, returns NaN
Examples:​
float var0 <- asin (0); // var0 equals 0.0
float var1 <- asin (90); // var1 equals #nan

container
at
unknown
--->unknown
at
(container
,unknown
) --->unknown
Result:​
the element at the right operand index of the container
Comment:​
The first element of the container is located at the index 0. In addition, if the user tries to get the element at an index higher or equals than the length of the container, he will get an IndexOutOfBoundException.The at operator behavior depends on the nature of the operand
Special cases:​
- if it is a file, at returns the element of the file content at the index specified by the right operand
- if it is a population, at returns the agent at the index specified by the right operand
- if it is a graph and if the right operand is a node, at returns the in and out edges corresponding to that node
- if it is a graph and if the right operand is an edge, at returns the pair node_out::node_in of the edge
- if it is a graph and if the right operand is a pair node1::node2, at returns the edge from node1 to node2 in the graph
- if it is a list or a matrix, at returns the element at the index specified by the right operand
int var1 <- [1, 2, 3] at 2; // var1 equals 3
point var2 <- [{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}] at 0; // var2 equals {1.0,2.0}
Examples:​
string var0 <- 'abcdef' at 0; // var0 equals 'a'

at_distance
​
Possible uses:​
container<unknown,geometry>
at_distance
float
--->list<geometry>
at_distance
(container<unknown,geometry>
,float
) --->list<geometry>
Result:​
A list of agents or geometries among the left-operand list that are located at a distance <= the right operand from the caller agent (in its topology)
Examples:​
list<geometry> var0 <- [ag1, ag2, ag3] at_distance 20; // var0 equals the agents of the list located at a distance <= 20 from the caller agent (in the same order).

at_location
point
--->geometry
at_location
(geometry
,point
) --->geometry
Result:​
A geometry resulting from the tran of a translation to the right-hand operand point of the left-hand operand (geometry, agent, point)
Examples:​
geometry var0 <- self at_location {10, 20}; // var0 equals the geometry resulting from a translation to the location {10, 20} of the left-hand geometry (or agent).
float var1 <- (box({10, 10 , 5}) at_location point(50,50,0)).location.x; // var1 equals 50.0
atan
​
Possible uses:​
atan
(int
) --->float
atan
(float
) --->float
Result:​
Returns the value (in the interval [-90,90], in decimal degrees) of the arctan of the operand (which can be any real number).
Examples:​
float var0 <- atan (1); // var0 equals 45.0
See also: acos, asin, tan, atan2,
atan2
​
Possible uses:​
float
atan2
float
--->float
atan2
(float
,float
) --->float
Result:​
the atan2 value of the two operands.
Comment:​
The function atan2 is the arctangent function with two arguments. The purpose of using two arguments instead of one is to gather information on the signs of the inputs in order to return the appropriate quadrant of the computed angle, which is not possible for the single-argument arctangent function. Beware: the first argument is y and the second is x
Examples:​
float var0 <- atan2 (0,0); // var0 equals 0.0
float var1 <- atan2 (0,1); // var1 equals 0.0
float var2 <- atan2 (0,-1); // var2 equals 180.0
float var3 <- atan2 (1,0); // var3 equals 90.0
float var4 <- atan2 (1,1); // var4 equals 45.0
float var5 <- atan2 (1,-1); // var5 equals 135.0
float var6 <- atan2 (-1,0); // var6 equals -90.0
float var7 <- atan2 (-1,1); // var7 equals -45.0
float var8 <- atan2 (-1,-1); // var8 equals -135.0
auto_correlation
​
Possible uses:​
container
auto_correlation
int
--->float
auto_correlation
(container

Examples:​
float var0 <- auto_correlation([1,0,1,0,1,0],2); // var0 equals 1
float var1 <- auto_correlation([1,0,1,0,1,0],1); // var1 equals -1
