Interface Value

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Value

extends Cloneable, Comparable, Serializable

An objectified value.

Values are objects that understand the four basic operations add, subtract, multiply and divide. Additionally, they have an operation for multiplication with 'scalars', i.e. simple type numeric values. Values are commutative monoids with respect to addition and multiplication.

An ordering relation is defined on the values, but it is up to the concrete type of value, whether this ordering is a half ordering relation.
