All Implemented Interfaces:

OwExprScope

Direct Known Subclasses:

OwExprBooleanValue, OwExprDateValue, OwExprNullValue, OwExprNumericValue, OwExprScopeValue, OwExprStringValue, OwExprTimeValue

public abstract class OwExprValue
extends Object
implements OwExprScope

A value is an expression evaluation result.
All values are scopes. Values are ''visitable'' by binary operator objects (see Visitor pattern) in a 2 stage visitor pattern implementation (first left side operand is visited than right side operand is visited thus selecting a typed operation evaluation in the operator class) Values are ''visitable'' by binary operator objects (see Visitor pattern) in a 1 stage visitor implementation.
