Class UML 2.5::LoopNode

Description:

A LoopNode is a StructuredActivityNode that represents an iterative loop with setup, test, and body sections.

Direct Superclasses: StructuredActivityNode

Direct Subclasses:

Class Precedence List: LoopNode, StructuredActivityNode, Namespace, ActivityGroup, Action, ExecutableNode, ActivityNode, RedefinableElement, NamedElement, Element

Properties:

bodyOutput : OutputPin (0 *); -- source LoopNode
bodyPart : ExecutableNode (0 *); -- source LoopNode
decider : OutputPin (1 1); -- source LoopNode
isTestedFirst : Boolean (1 1); -- source LoopNode
loopVariable : OutputPin (0 *); -- source LoopNode

A list of OutputPins that hold the values of the loop variables during an execution of the loop. When the test fails, the values are moved to the result OutputPins of the loop.

Constraints:

No additional constraints.

Operations:

Signature: sourceNodes() : ActivityNode;
Description: Return the loopVariable OutputPins in addition to other source nodes for the LoopNode as a StructuredActivityNode.
Expression: result = (self.StructuredActivityNode::sourceNodes()->union(loopVariable))

Signature: allActions() : Action;
Description: Return only this LoopNode. This prevents Actions within the LoopNode from having their OutputPins used as bodyOutputs or decider Pins in containing LoopNodes or ConditionalNodes.
Expression: result = (self->asSet())
