💅 RDF::Query::Algebra::Minus — the manual page, but make it cute

ok so bestie, welcome to RDF::Query::Algebra::Minus — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's serving Algebra class for Minus patterns. That's the whole vibe. It's the algebra-y little object that knows how to do a MINUS. Slay. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

This document describes RDF::Query::Algebra::Minus version 2.919. That's the version, no cap. 💖

🌸 METHODS 🌸

okay so before we even get into the methods, important housekeeping: beyond everything documented below, this class inherits methods from the RDF::Query::Algebra class. So there's a whole other pile of methods out there that you're also getting, for free, from your ancestor. Family. 🫶

Now. The methods. Let's go. 💅

  • new ( $pattern, $opt_pattern ) — Returns a new Minus structure. That's the constructor, bestie. It pops out a fresh new Minus object for you. ✨
  • construct_args — Returns a list of arguments that, passed to this class' constructor, will produce a clone of this algebra pattern. Yes, it's basically giving you the recipe to rebuild yourself. Cloning era. 👑
  • pattern — Returns the base pattern (LHS) onto which the minus pattern matches. LHS = left-hand side, iykyk. 🦋
  • minus — Returns the minus pattern (RHS). That's the right-hand side, the one doing the subtracting. The main character of the operation, honestly. 💀
  • sse — Returns the SSE string for this algebra expression. 🍓
  • as_sparql — Returns the SPARQL string for this algebra expression. Yes bestie, it can speak SPARQL. Fluent. 🌈
  • as_hash — Returns the query as a nested set of plain data structures (no objects). Just raw data, no object drama, no methods, no opinions. Simply structures. 🌸
  • type — Returns the type of this algebra expression. 😌
  • referenced_variables — Returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression. Every variable that shows up gets named. 🤭
  • potentially_bound — Returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression that will bind values during execution. "Potentially" because we're being honest about our uncertainty, okay?? 🙈
  • definite_variables — Returns a list of the variable names that will be bound after evaluating this algebra expression. Unlike potentially_bound, this one is committed. No maybes. Periodt. 💖
