Overview

Term.

This is an internal class, it is not supposed to be instantiated directly.

It is possible to use for testing directly, for example to make a term with two arguments:

require 'factbase/fact'
require 'factbase/term'
f = Factbase::Fact.new(Mutex.new, { 'foo' => [42, 256, 'Hello, world!'] })
t = Factbase::Term.new(:lt, [:foo, 50])
assert(t.evaluate(f))

The design of this class may look ugly, since it has a large number of methods, each of which corresponds to a different type of a Term. A much better design would definitely involve many classes, one per each type of a term. It’s not done this way because of an experimental nature of the project. Most probably we should keep current design intact, since it works well and is rather simple to extend (by adding new term types). Moreover, it looks like the number of possible term types is rather limited and currently we implement most of them.
