Interface SequenceRuleList

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList
public interface SequenceRuleList extends OsidList

Like all OsidLists , SequenceRuleList provides a means for accessing SequenceRule elements sequentially either one at a time or many at a time. Examples: 

while (srl.hasNext()) {
     AssessmentSequenceRule rule = srl.getNextAssessmentSequenceRule();
}
or 
while (srl.hasNext()) {
     AssessmentSequenceRule[] rules = srl.getNextAssessmentSequenceRules(srl.available());
}

  • Method Details

    • getNextSequenceRule

      SequenceRule getNextSequenceRule() throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the next SequenceRule in this list.
      Returns:
      the next SequenceRule in this list. The hasNext() method should be used to test that a next SequenceRule is available before calling this method.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getNextSequenceRules

      SequenceRule[] getNextSequenceRules(long n) throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the next set of SequenceRule elements in this list which must be less than or equal to the number returned from available() .
      Parameters:
      n - the number of SequenceRule elements requested which should be less than or equal to available()
      Returns:
      an array of SequenceRule elements. The length of the array is less than or equal to the number specified.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      Compliance:
