Operators (I to M)

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 and or (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).

file f <-image_file("http://my_url", "png");

image_file(string,matrix<int>): This file constructor allows to store a matrix in a image file (it does not save it - just store it in memory)

file f <-image_file("file.png");

See also: is_image,

`in`

Possible uses:

unknown in container ---> bool
in (unknown , container) ---> bool
string in string ---> bool
in (string , string) ---> bool

Result:

true if the right operand contains the left operand, false otherwise

Comment:

the definition of in depends on the container

Special cases:

if the right operand is nil or empty, in returns false
if both operands are strings, returns true if the left-hand operand patterns is included in to the right-hand string;

Examples:

bool var0 <- 2 in [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // var0 equals true 
bool var1 <- 7 in [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // var1 equals false 
bool var2 <- 3 in [1::2, 3::4, 5::6]; // var2 equals false 
bool var3 <- 6 in [1::2, 3::4, 5::6]; // var3 equals true

See also: contains,

`in_degree_of`

Possible uses:

graph in_degree_of unknown ---> int
in_degree_of (graph , unknown) ---> int

Result:

returns the in degree of a vertex (right-hand operand) in the graph given as left-hand operand.

Examples:

See also: out_degree_of, degree_of,

`in_edges_of`

Possible uses:

graph in_edges_of unknown ---> list
in_edges_of (graph , unknown) ---> list

Result:

`incomplete_gamma`

Possible uses:

float incomplete_gamma float ---> float
incomplete_gamma (float , float) ---> float

Result:

Returns the regularized integral of the Gamma function with argument a to the integration end point x.

Examples:

float var0 <- incomplete_gamma(1,5.3) with_precision(3); // var0 equals 0.995

`incomplete_gamma_complement`

Possible uses:

float incomplete_gamma_complement float ---> float

Result:

Returns the complemented regularized incomplete Gamma function of the argument a and integration start point x.

Comment:

`indented_by`

Possible uses:

string indented_by int ---> string

`index_by`

Possible uses:

container index_by any expression ---> map
index_by (container , any expression) ---> map

Result:

produces a new map from the evaluation of the right-hand operand for each element of the left-hand operand

Special cases:

if the left-hand operand is nil, index_by throws an error. If the operation results in duplicate keys, only the first value corresponding to the key is kept

Examples:

map var0 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] index_by (each - 1); // var0 equals [0::1, 1::2, 2::3, 3::4, 4::5, 5::6, 6::7, 7::8]

species index_of unknown ---> int
index_of (species , unknown) ---> int

Result:

the index of the first occurence of the right operand in the left operand container

Comment:

The definition of index_of and the type of the index depend on the container

Special cases:

if the left operand is a map, index_of returns the index of a value or nil if the value is not mapped
if the left operator is a species, returns the index of an agent in a species. If the argument is not an agent of this species, returns -1. Use int(agent) instead
if the left operand is a matrix, index_of returns the index as a point

point var1 <- matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]) index_of 4; // var1 equals {1.0,0.0}

if the left operand is a list, index_of returns the index as an integer

int var2 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] index_of 4; // var2 equals 3 
int var3 <- [4,2,3,4,5,4] index_of 4; // var3 equals 0

if both operands are strings, returns the index within the left-hand string of the first occurrence of the given right-hand string

int var4 <- "abcabcabc" index_of "ca"; // var4 equals 2

Examples:

unknown var0 <- [1::2, 3::4, 5::6] index_of 4; // var0 equals 3

See also: at, last_index_of, all_indexes_of,

`inside`

Possible uses:

container<unknown,geometry> inside geometry ---> list<geometry>
inside (container<unknown,geometry> , geometry) ---> list<geometry>

Result:

A list of agents or geometries among the left-operand list, species or meta-population (addition of species), covered by the operand (casted as a geometry).

Examples:

list<geometry> var0 <- [ag1, ag2, ag3] inside(self); // var0 equals the agents among ag1, ag2 and ag3 that are covered by the shape of the right-hand argument. 
list<geometry> var1 <- (species1 + species2) inside (self); // var1 equals the agents among species species1 and species2 that are covered by the shape of the right-hand argument.

`int`

Possible uses:

int (any) ---> int

Result:

casts the operand in a int object.

`inter`

Possible uses:

geometry inter geometry ---> geometry
inter (geometry , geometry) ---> geometry
container inter container ---> list
inter (container , container) ---> list

Result:

A geometry resulting from the intersection between the two geometries the intersection of the two operands

Comment:

both containers are transformed into sets (so without duplicated element, cf. remove_deplicates operator) before the set intersection is computed.

Special cases:

returns nil if one of the operands is nil
if an operand is a graph, it will be transformed into the set of its nodes
if an operand is a map, it will be transformed into the set of its values

list var3 <- [1::2, 3::4, 5::6] inter [2,4]; // var3 equals [2,4] 
list var4 <- [1::2, 3::4, 5::6] inter [1,3]; // var4 equals []

if an operand is a matrix, it will be transformed into the set of the lines

list var5 <- matrix([[3,2,1],[4,5,4]]) inter [3,4]; // var5 equals [3,4]

Examples:

geometry var0 <- square(10) inter circle(5); // var0 equals circle(5) 
list var1 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] inter [2,4]; // var1 equals [2,4] 
list var2 <- [1,2,3,4,5,6] inter [0,8]; // var2 equals []

See also: union, +, -, remove_duplicates,

`interleave`

Possible uses:

interleave (container) ---> list

Result:

Returns a new list containing the interleaved elements of the containers contained in the operand

Comment:

the operand should be a list of lists of elements. The result is a list of elements.

Examples:

list var0 <- interleave([1,2,4,3,5,7,6,8]); // var0 equals [1,2,4,3,5,7,6,8] 
list var1 <- interleave([['e11','e12','e13'],['e21','e22','e23'],['e31','e32','e33']]); // var1 equals ['e11','e21','e31','e12','e22','e32','e13','e23','e33']

`internal_integrated_value`

Possible uses:

any expression internal_integrated_value any expression ---> list

Result:

The inverse matrix of the given matrix. If no inverse exists, returns a matrix that has properties that resemble that of an inverse.
