# Class JexlArithmetic

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.jexl3.JexlArithmetic

public class JexlArithmetic extends Object
Perform arithmetic, implements JexlOperator methods.

This is the class to derive to implement new operator behaviors.

The 5 base arithmetic operators (+, - , *, /, %) follow the same evaluation rules regarding their arguments.

1. If both are null, result is 0 if arithmetic (or operator) is non-strict, ArithmeticException is thrown otherwise
2. If both arguments are numberable - any kind of integer including boolean -, coerce both to Long and coerce result to the most precise argument class (boolean < byte < short < int < long); if long operation would cause overflow, return a BigInteger
3. If either argument is a BigDecimal, coerce both to BigDecimal, operator returns BigDecimal
4. If either argument is a floating point number, coerce both to Double, operator returns Double
5. Else treat as BigInteger, perform operation and narrow result to the most precise argument class

Note that the only exception thrown by JexlArithmetic is and must be ArithmeticException.

    Returns:
      true if negate is idempotent, false otherwise

    protected boolean isNullOperand(Object value)
    Checks if an operand is considered null.
    Parameters:

  - ### isPositivizeStable

    public boolean isPositivizeStable()

    Returns:
      true if positivize is idempotent, false otherwise

  - ### isStrict

    public boolean isStrict()
    Checks whether this JexlArithmetic instance strictly considers null as an error when used as operand unexpectedly.
    Returns:
      true if strict, false if lenient

  - ### isStrict

    public boolean isStrict(JexlOperator operator)
    Checks whether this arithmetic considers a given operator as strict or null-safe.

    When an operator is strict, it does not accept null arguments when the arithmetic is strict. If null-safe (ie not-strict), the operator does accept null arguments even if the arithmetic itself is strict.

    The default implementation considers equal/not-equal operators as null-safe so one can check for null as in `if (myvar == null) {...}`. Note that this operator is used for equal and not-equal syntax. The complete list of operators that are not strict are (==, [], []=, ., .=, empty, size, contains).

    An arithmetic refining its strict behavior handling for more operators must declare which by overriding this method.

    Parameters:
      `operator` - the operator to check for null-argument(s) handling
    Returns:
      true if operator considers null arguments as errors, false if operator has appropriate semantics for null argument(s)
