ASTNodeValue (JSBML 1.5 API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- org.sbml.jsbml.util.compilers.ASTNodeValue

```
public class ASTNodeValue
extends java.lang.Object
```
When interpreting ASTNodes, the ASTNodeCompiler takes elements of this class as arguments and performs its operations on it. Hence, this class represents the union of all possible types to which an abstract syntax tree can be evaluated, i.e., Boolean, CallableSBase, Number, or String. This class does not define what to do with these values or how to perform any operations on it. It is just the container of a value. The type of this value tells the ASTNodeCompiler which operation was performed to obtain the value stored in this object.

    Analog to the toDouble() method but this method tries to evaluate the value contained in this object to a boolean value. In case of numbers, one is considered true, all other values represent false.
    
    Returns:
    
    A boolean representing the value of this container. Note that if the value is an instance of CallableSBase, it can only be converted into a boolean value if the ASTNodeCompiler associated with this object compiles this value to an ASTNodeValue that contains a boolean or at least a Number value.
    
    Throws:
    
    SBMLException
  - toDouble
```
public double toDouble()
                throws SBMLException

    Throws:
    
    SBMLException
  - toInteger
```
public int toInteger()
              throws SBMLException
```
    This method is analog to the toDouble method but tries to convert this value into an integer.
    
    Returns:
    
    Throws:
    
    SBMLException
  - toLong
```
public long toLong()
            throws SBMLException

  - toNumber
```
public java.lang.Number toNumber()
                          throws SBMLException
```
    Tries to convert the value contained in this object into a double number.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number value represented by this given ASTNodeValue. In case this ASTNodeValue contains an instance of Boolean, zero is returned for false and one for true. If the value is null or cannot be converted to any number, Double.NaN will be returned. Note that if the value of this container is an instance of CallableSBase, the value can only be converted to a number if the compiler associated with this ASTNodeValue compiles this CallableSBase to an ASTNodeValue that contains a Number.
    
    Throws:
    
    SBMLException
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - unsetUnit
```
public void unsetUnit()
```
    Removes the unit of this element, i.e., the unit will become invalid.
