Henri Biestro updated JEXL-295:
-------------------------------
Description:
WHAT
Introduce a new operator, the unary plus as in '+4' or '+b' expressions. JEXL
arithmetic already allows using a unary minus operator (the negate operation)
so there is logic in having the counterpart.
The proposed default behaviour would be to:
- call the 'Math.abs(...)' method for numbers
- return true for boolean
- could uppercase strings ? (should '-' lowercase strings ??)
HOW
- Follow the unary minus syntax and construct in the .jjt / ASTUnaryPlus /
ParserVisitor
- Implement Interpreter, Debugger
- Implement abs in JexlArithmetic
