# Builtin constants

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.1 CONST_E is a REAL constant representing the mathematical value e, the base of the natural
#logarithm function (ln).
CONST_E = REAL(math.pi)

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.2 Indeterminate
#The indeterminate symbol (?) stands for an ambiguous value. It is compatible with all data
#types.
#NOTE - The most common use of indeterminate (?) is as the upper bound specication of a bag,
#list or set. This usage represents the notion that the size of the aggregate value dened by the
#aggregation data type is unbounded.
# python note: indeterminate value is mapped to None in aggregate bounds

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.3 False
#false is a logical constant representing the logical notion of falsehood. It is compatible with
#the boolean and logical data types.

#14.4 Pi
#PI is a REAL constant representing the mathematical value , the ratio of a circle's circumference
#to its diameter.

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.5 Self
#SELF refers to the current entity instance or type value. self may appear within an entity
#declaration, a type declaration or an entity constructor.
#NOTE - sSELF is not a constant, but behaves as one in every context in which it can appear.
# python note: SELF is not mapped to any constant, but is mapper to self

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.6 True
#true is a logical constant representing the logical notion of truth. It is compatible with the
#boolean and logical data types.
TRUE = True

# EXPRESS definition:
# ===================
#14.7 Unknown
#unknown is a logical constant representing that there is insucient information available to
#be able to evaluate a logical condition. It is compatible with the logical data type, but not
#with the boolean data type.
# @TODO: define UNKNOWN in python

#15.27 Value - arithmetic function
#FUNCTION VALUE ( V:STRING ) : NUMBER;
#The value function returns the numeric representation of a string.
#Parameters : V is a string containing either a real or integer literal.
#Result : A number corresponding to the string representation. If it is not possible to interpret
#the string as either a real or integer literal, indeterminate (?) is returned.
#EXAMPLE 151 { VALUE ( '1.234' ) --> 1.234 (REAL)
#VALUE ( '20' ) --> 20 (INTEGER)

#FUNCTION VALUE_IN ( C:AGGREGATE OF GENERIC:GEN; V:GENERIC:GEN ) : LOGICAL;
#The value in function returns a logical value depending on whether or not a particular value

#Parameters :
#a) C is an aggregation of any type.
#b) V is an expression which is assignment compatible with the base type of C.
#Result :
#a) If either V or C is indeterminate (?), unknown is returned.
#b) If any element of C has a value equal to the value of V, true is returned.
#c) If any element of C is indeterminate (?), unknown is returned.
#d) Otherwise false is returned.

#the origin.

#a) If V is indeterminate (?), unknown is returned.
#b) If any any two elements of V are value equal, false is returned.
