Constructor Detail

### PromoteToFloat

    public PromoteToFloat(Expression exp)

Method Detail

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

  Determine the data type of the items returned by the expression, if possible

  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `UnaryExpression`
  Parameters:
    `th` - the type hierarchy cache
  Returns:
    a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)

### copy

    public Expression copy()

  Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

  Specified by:
    `copy` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    the copy of the original expression

### promote

    protected AtomicValue promote(AtomicValue value,
                                  ConversionRules rules)
                           throws XPathException

  Perform the promotion

  Specified by:
    `promote` in class `NumericPromoter`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the numeric or untyped atomic value to be promoted
    `rules` -
  Returns:
    the value that results from the promotion
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
