NAME

Devel::Cover::Truth_Table - Create and manipulate truth tables for coverage objects.


SYNOPSIS

  use Devel::Cover::Truth_Table;
  # $a || $b
  my $or_tt  = Devel::Cover::Truth_Table->new_primitive('or_3', 0, 1, 1);
  # $c && $d
  my $and_tt = Devel::Cover::Truth_Table->new_primitive('and_3', 1, 0, 1);
  # merge contents of $and_tt into right column of $or_tt, to create
  # $a || ($c && $d)
  $or_tt->right_merge($and_tt);
  # get a (sorted) textual representation
  my @text = $or_tt->sort->text;
  print "$_\n" foreach @text;
  __END__

DESCRIPTION

This module provides methods for creating and merging conditional primitives ($a && $b, $c || $d, etc.) into more complex composite expressions.


METHODS

new_primitive($op, @coverage)

Create a new truth table based on one of the built-in primitives, which are the subclasses of Devel::Cover::DB::Condition. $op is one of the following:

and_3
and or && with three conditional paths.

or_3
or or || with three conditional paths.

or_2
or or || with two conditional paths. (i.e., when the right hand side of the expression is a constant)

xor_4
xor with four conditional paths.

@coverage is a list booleans identifying which of the possible paths have been covered.

sort()

Sorts a truth table (in place) and returns the sorted object.

text()

Format a truth table to an array of strings for printing.

html()

Format a truth table in HTML.

error()

percentage()

Determines the proportion of possible conditions that have coverage.

right_merge($sub_table)

Merge entries from $sub_table into right column of table.

left_merge($sub_table)

Merge entries from $sub_table into left column of table.
