public class ListOfInitialAssignments extends ListOf
The various ListOf___ classes in SBML are merely containers used for
organizing the main components of an SBML model. All are derived from
the abstract class SBase
, and inherit the various attributes and
subelements of SBase
, such as 'metaid' as and 'annotation'. The
ListOf___ classes do not add any attributes of their own.
The relationship between the lists and the rest of an SBML model is illustrated by the following (for SBML Level 2 Version 4):
Readers may wonder about the motivations for using the ListOf___
containers. A simpler approach in XML might be to place the components
all directly at the top level of the model definition. The choice made
in SBML is to group them within XML elements named after
ListOf
Classname, in part because it helps organize the
components. More importantly, the fact that the container classes are
derived from SBase
means that software tools can add information about
the lists themselves into each list container's 'annotation'.

.public void delete()
In general, application software will not need to call this method directly. The Java language binding for libSBML is implemented as a language wrapper that provides a Java interface to libSBML's underlying C++/C code. Some of the Java methods return objects that are linked to objects created not by Java code, but by C++ code. The Java objects wrapped around them will be deleted when the garbage collector invokes the corresponding C++ finalize()
methods for the objects. The finalize()
methods in turn call the ListOfInitialAssignments.delete()
method on the libSBML object.
This method is exposed in case calling programs want to ensure that the underlying object is freed immediately, and not at some arbitrary time determined by the Java garbage collector. In normal usage, callers do not need to invoke ListOfInitialAssignments.delete()
themselves.

if no such object is found. Note that InitialAssignments do not actually have IDs, though the libsbml
interface pretends that they do: no initial assignment is returned by this function.

For ListOfInitialAssignments
, the XML element name is
'listOfInitialAssignments'.

public int getItemTypeCode()
ListOf
(i.e., InitialAssignment
objects, if the list is non-empty).
LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every
kind of SBML object. These are known as SBML type codes. In
other languages, the set of type codes is stored in an enumeration in
the Java language interface for libSBML, the type codes are defined as
static integer constants in the interface class libsbmlConstants
. The names of the type codes all begin with the
characters SBML_.
