## net.sf.saxon.expr
Class SingletonComparison

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.expr.ComputedExpression
          net.sf.saxon.expr.BinaryExpression
              net.sf.saxon.expr.SingletonComparison

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Container, Expression, InstructionInfoProvider, java.io.Serializable, javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator

public class SingletonComparison
extends BinaryExpression

Class to handle comparisons of singletons. Unlike ValueComparison, this class converts untyped atomic values to the type of the other argument, and returns false (rather than ()) if either operand is ().

                               Expression p2)

Method Detail

### setComparator

    public void setComparator(java.util.Comparator comp)

### computeCardinality

    public int computeCardinality()

  Determine the static cardinality. Returns [1..1]

  Returns:
    the checked expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  Determine the data type of the expression

  Returns:
    Type.BOOLEAN

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - the given context for evaluation
  Returns:
    a BooleanValue representing the result of the numeric comparison of the two operands
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### effectiveBooleanValue

    public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                                  throws XPathException
