public class Rules
extends Object

Methods

o addRule 
 public void addRule(String boolStr,
                     Action action) throws NestingTooDeepException
This method adds a new boolean-sequence / action pair to the rules Hashtable. It first converts the String boolStr, which is a string of T's and F's, to a BooleanTuple, then it loads this BooleanTuple as a key in ruleTable, matched with the action argument passed in.

o lookUp 
 public Action lookUp(BooleanTuple bt) throws RuleNotFoundException
This method looks up, in ruleTable, the action that corresponds to the BooleanTuple passed in.
