Class CycleDetector

Object

CycleDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphWalker

Direct Known Subclasses:

DirectedCycleDetector

public class CycleDetector
extends Object
implements GraphWalker

Detects cycles in a graph. A topological iteration of the nodes of the graph is performed. If the iteration includes all nodes in the graph then the graph is cycle free, otherwise a cycle exists.

Constructor Detail

CycleDetector

public CycleDetector(Graph graph)

Constructs a new CycleDetector.

Parameters:

graph - The graph to be tested for cycle existance.

Method Detail

containsCycle

public boolean containsCycle()

Performs the iteration to determine if a cycle exits in the graph.

Returns:

True if a cycle exists, false if not.

visit

public int visit(Graphable element,
                 GraphTraversal traversal)

Increments the count of nodes visited.

Specified by:

visit in interface GraphWalker

Parameters:

element - The component being visited.

traversal - The traversal controlling the sequence of graph component visits.

Returns:

GraphTraversal#CONTINUE to signal that the traversal should continue.
GraphTraversal#CONTINUE to signal that the traversal should suspend.
GraphTraversal#KILL_BRANCH to signal that the traversal should kill its current branch.
GraphTraversal#STOP to signal that the traversal should stop.

finish

public void finish()

Does nothing.

Specified by:

finish in interface GraphWalker

See Also:

GraphWalker.finish()

createIterator

protected GraphIterator createIterator()

Creates the iterator to be used in the cycle detection.

Returns:

a BreathFirstToplogicalIterator.
