Enum Constant Detail

DICHOTOMOUS

public static final ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType DICHOTOMOUS

The variable is dichotomous, such as present or absent.

CONTINUOUS

public static final ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType CONTINUOUS

The variable is a continuous result such as a quantity.

DESCRIPTIVE

public static final ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType DESCRIPTIVE

The variable is described narratively rather than quantitatively.

public static final ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType NULL

added to help the parsers with the generic types

Method Detail

values

public static ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType c : ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ResearchElementDefinition.VariableType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
