Method Detail

assign

void assign(java.util.List<java.lang.Object> values,
            VMActiveInstanceCtx agent,
            VMFrameCtx frame,
            Type collectType)
            throws gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException

Assigns a list of values to the element resulting from evaluating the left-hand side expression. the boolean collect parameter is true, the list of values is assigned as a single collection value to the left-hand side element. If the collect parameter is false only the first value in the list is assigned.

Parameters:

values - the list of values to be assigned

agent - the VMActiveInstanceCtx for the agent performing the assignment operation

frame - the VMFrameCtx for the frame that is being executed

collectType - the collection element type if the values should be assigned as a collection to the left-hand side, else null

Throws:

gov.nasa.arc.brahms.common.exceptions.BrahmsException - if an error occurs during the assignment
