oph_predicate

Description

Behaviour

It evaluates a predicate. If ‘expression0’ satisfies ‘comparison’, then ‘expression1’ is executed, else ‘expression2’ is executed.

Parameters

  • input measure type: Ophidia typing. Supported types are: ‘oph_double’; ‘oph_float’; ‘oph_long’; ‘oph_int’; ‘oph_short’; ‘oph_byte’.
  • output measure type: Ophidia typing. Supported types are: ‘oph_double’; ‘oph_float’; ‘oph_long’; ‘oph_int’; ‘oph_short’; ‘oph_byte’.
  • measure: input measure.
  • expression 0: first expression.
  • comparison: condition to be verified.
  • expression 1: expression executed if expression 0 satisfies comparison.
  • expression 2: expression executed if expression 0 does not satisfy comparison.

Return type

Binary-array.

Examples

Identify measures with temperature values greater than 300 K.
