Public Member Functions

alphabet_talphabet ()
 Alphabet's accessor.

const alphabet_talphabet () const
 Alphabet's const accessor.

template<typename T> Element< Self, T > identity (SELECTOR(T)) const
 Returns the identity of the monoid (if mul_kind).

template<typename T> Element< Self, T > zero (SELECTOR(T)) const
 Returns the zero of the monoid (if add_kind).

bool contains (const Element< Self, T > &elt) const
 Check if a given element is compatible with the structural element.

bool contains (const Element< OtherS, T > &other) const

bool contains (const T &elt_value) const
 Check if an anonymous value is compatible with a structural element.

Element< Self, T > choose (SELECTOR(T)) const
 Choose randomly an element in the structure.

self_tself ()

Detailed Description

template<class Self>
struct vcsn::algebra::FreeMonoidBase< Self >

Structural element for free monoid.

FreeMonoidBase is the mother class of free monoids. A free monoid A* is a monoid generated by an alphabet A and which provides a way of iterating through letters of words.


Member Function Documentation

bool contains const Element< OtherS, T > &  other  )  const [inherited]
 

Specialization of containts that always return false.

Indeed, elements structured by a particular type are always incompatible with structural elements of another type.

self_t& self  )  [inherited]
 

Accessor to the real type.

This accessor is intended to be used by implementations in this class and derivated structures to obtain a reference to the structural element with its most derivated type.
