PatternProtocol

public protocol PatternProtocol

Pattern consists of array of elements

  • Matcher instances are capable of recognising patterns described in the elements collection. It only remains effective, if the Variable instances are surrounded by Keyword instances, so no two Variables should be next to each other. Otherwise, their matching result and value would be undefined. This collection should be provided during the initialisation, and cannot be modified once the Matcher instance has been created.
