Constructor Detail

### IntegerAlphabet.IntegerSymbol

    protected IntegerAlphabet.IntegerSymbol(int val)

Method Detail

### getAnnotation

    public Annotation getAnnotation()

  Description copied from interface: `Annotatable`
  Should return the associated annotation object.

  Specified by:
    `getAnnotation` in interface `Annotatable`
  Returns:
    an Annotation object, never null

### getName

    public String getName()

  Description copied from interface: `Symbol`
  The long name for the symbol.

  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `Symbol`
  Returns:
    the long name

### intValue

    public int intValue()

### getMatches

    public Alphabet getMatches()

  Description copied from interface: `Symbol`
  The alphabet containing the symbols matched by this ambiguity symbol.

  This alphabet contains all of, and only, the symbols matched by this symbol. For example, the symbol representing the DNA ambiguity code for W would contain the symbol for A and T from the DNA alphabet.

  Specified by:
    `getMatches` in interface `Symbol`
  Returns:
    the Alphabet of symbols matched by this symbol

### getSymbols

    public List getSymbols()

  Description copied from interface: `BasisSymbol`

  The list of symbols that this symbol is composed from.

  In the usual case, this list will contain just this single symbol. In the case where a symbol represents an ordered combination of other symbols, the list will contain each of these BasisSymbols.

  Specified by:
    `getSymbols` in interface `BasisSymbol`
  Returns:
    the List of Symbols that this Symbol is built from

### getBases

    public Set getBases()

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
