Method Summary

void	addToSignature(PanSignature pSignature) This method adds this SimpleTerm to the Constant List of the passed PanSignature IF it is not already in the signature.
boolean	clashes(Atom pAtom) Returns true if the passed Atom clashes with this SimpleTerm. An Atom clashes with a SimpleTerm if they have the same name.
java.lang.String	clashes(PanSignature pSignature) Returns a String of error message if this SimpleTerm clashes with the passed PanSignature. A SimpleTerm clashes with a PanSignature if it clashes with any of its Predicates,Constants,Functions or Variables. If this SimpleTerm does not clash with the Signature, it is added to the Constant list of the signature and an empty String is returned.
boolean	clashes(Term pTerm) Returns true if the passed Term(Constant/Function/Variable) clashes with this SimpleTerm. A SimpleTerm clashes with a Term if they have the same name.
SimpleTerm	clone() Returns a copy(clone) of this SimpleTerm.
java.lang.String	display() Returns a String to display the SimpleTerm.
boolean	equals(Term pTerm) Returns true if the passed Term is equal to this SimpleTerm. A Term is equal to a SimpleTerm if it is a SimpleTerm and they have the same name.
java.lang.String	getName() Returns the name of the SimpleTerm.
boolean	isIn(PanSignature pSignature) Returns true if this SimpleTerm is in the Constant list of the passed PanSignature.
Term	regenerate() Returns a copy of the SimpleTerm for the undo record
void	setVars(Var pVar) This method adds Var v to the list of variables this SimpleTerm is bound to.
Term	sub(Term pTermX, Term pTermY) Substitutes all the occurences of Term x by Term y.
