ApplyFunctionAction_Impl

public interface ApplyFunctionAction
extends PrimitiveAction

This action computes a primitive predefined mathematical function that depends only on the input values, with no access to object memory or to any objects. The execution and results of this action depend only on the function and the input values. There are absolutely no side effects of this action and it therefore cannot conflict with anything. All it does is produce result values using a mathematical function. New primitive functions may be defined (outside of UML) as mathematical functions of input values to output values. All usual primitive operations should be considered as primitive functions (e.g., addition, nand, square root, finding a substring, Bessel function, etc.). A list of defined primitive functions may be supplied as part of a modeling profile. UML does not provide a mechanism to define primitive functions, as their definition is outside its scope. It is expected that users will agree on environments containing such definitions.
