Constructor Detail

### Translate

    public Translate()

Method Detail

### typeCheck

    public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                         throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `FunctionCall`
  Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.

  Overrides:
    `typeCheck` in class `FunctionCall`
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - an expression visitor
    `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
  Returns:
    the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate the function

  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### getStaticMap

    public IntToIntMap getStaticMap()

  Get the translation map built at compile time if there is one

### translate

    public static CharSequence translate(StringValue sv0,
                                         StringValue sv1,
                                         StringValue sv2)

  Perform the translate function

### translateUsingMap

    public static CharSequence translateUsingMap(CharSequence in,
                                                 IntToIntMap map)

  Implement the translate() function using an index built at compile time

  Parameters:
    `in` - the string to be translated
    `map` - index built at compile time, mapping input characters to output characters. The map returns -1 for a character that is to be deleted from the input string, Integer.MAX_VALUE for a character that is to remain intact
  Returns:
    the translated character string
