public class Previous extends DETransformer
Although it might be tempting to try, this actor is not very useful for breaking precedences in a feedback loop in DE, the way the TimedDelay actor in DE or the SampleDelay actor in SDF do. Since it does not trigger until there is an input, it will not actually break the precedences in a feedback loop.
The output data type is constrained to be at least as general as both the input and the initialValue parameter.

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
java.util.Set<Inequality> |
_containedTypeConstraints()
Adds to the set of inequalities returned by the overridden method
a constraint that requires the initial value to be less than or
equal to the type of the output.
|
void |
fire()
If there is a previous token, then produce it on the output,
and then read the input and record it for the next firing.
|
void |
initialize()
Initialize so that the initial token will be produced.
|
boolean |
postfire()
Update the state of the actor.
|
void |
wrapup()
Reset the state variables.
