Detailed Description

Holds an indexed list of bio-chemical elements.

Presents an indexed list of bio-chemical elements of type (or derived from type) Element. Due to indexed structure Alphabet can be used similar to std::vector, for example to add a new element to Alphabet function push_back(element_type) can be used. Elements or their properties (such as element's mass) can be accessed by index in a constant time. On the other hand accessing elements by their names takes linear time. Due to this and also the fact that Alphabet is 'heavy-weighted' (consisting of Element -s or their derivatives where the depth of derivation as well is undefined resulting in possibly 'heavy' access operations) it is recommended not use Alphabet directly in operations where fast access to Element 's properties is required. Instead consider to use 'light-weighted' equivalents, such as Weights.

Elements in Alphabet can be sorted by the Element 's properties: sequence and mass. When alphabet's data is loaded from file it is automatically sorted by mass. To load data from file default function load(str::string& fname) can be used. Then elements have to be stored in a flat file fname in a predefined format. To read more on this format, please,

See also
AlphabetParser. If one wants to load data stored differently or in its own file format (i.e. xml) one has to define a new parser derived from AlphabetParser and pass its pointer together with the file name to function load(const std::string& fname, AlphabetParser<>* parser). If there is any error happened while loading data, IOException will be thrown.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void clear ( )
inline

Clears the alphabet data.

◆ erase()

bool erase ( const name_type name)

Removes the element with name name from the alphabet.

Parameters
nameThe name of the element to be removed from the alphabet.
Returns
A boolean indicating whether an element was removed (true) or not (false).

◆ getAverageMasses()

masses_type getAverageMasses ( ) const

Gets average masses of elements.

Returns
Average masses of elements.

◆ getElement() [1/2]

const element_type& getElement ( const name_type name) const

◆ getElement() [2/2]

const element_type& getElement ( size_type  index) const
inline

Gets the element with index index.

Note
Operation takes constant time.
Parameters
indexof the element
Returns
Element with the given index in alphabet

◆ getMass() [1/2]

mass_type getMass ( const name_type name) const

Gets mono isotopic mass of the element with the symbol name. If there is no such element, throws an Exception::InvalidValue.

Parameters
nameSymbol of the element.
Returns

Gets mass of the element with an index index in alphabet.

Parameters
indexIndex of the element.
Returns
Mass of the element.
See also
getMass(const std::string& name)

◆ getMasses()

masses_type getMasses ( size_type  isotope_index = 0) const

Gets masses of elements isotopes given by isotope_index.

Parameters

Returns true if there is an element with symbol name in the alphabet, false - otherwise.

Returns
True, if there is an element with symbol name, false - otherwise.

virtual

Loads the alphabet data from the file fname using the default parser. If there is no file fname, throws an IOException.

Parameters
fnameThe file name to be loaded.
Exceptions

Parameters
nameThe name of the element that should be replaced in (or appended to) the alphabet.
massThe new mass of the element in the alphabet.
forcedIndicates whether a new element should be created (if set to true) if there is no element with the name name or not (if set to false).
