step

Parameters:

  • objects (list)

  • problem (montepy.MCNP_Problem)

add(obj: Numbered_MCNP_Object)#

Add the given object to this collection.

Parameters:

obj (Numbered_MCNP_Object) – The object to add.

Raises:

  • TypeError – if the object is of the wrong type.

  • NumberConflictError – if this object’s number is already in use in the collection.

append(obj, **kwargs)#

Appends the given object to the end of this collection.

Parameters:

  • obj (Numbered_MCNP_Object) – the object to add.

  • **kwargs – extra arguments that are used internally.

Raises:

NumberConflictError – if this object has a number that is already in use.

append_renumber(obj, step=1)#

Appends the object, but will renumber the object if collision occurs.

This behaves like append, except if there is a number collision the object will be renumbered to an available number. The number will be incremented by step until an available number is found.

Parameters:

  • obj (Numbered_MCNP_Object) – The MCNP object being added to the collection.

  • step (int) – the incrementing step to use to find a new number.

Returns:

the number for the object.

Return type:

int

check_number(number)#

Checks if the number is already in use, and if so raises an error.

Parameters:

number (int) – The number to check.

Raises:

NumberConflictError – if this number is in use.

clear()#

Removes all objects from this collection.

clone(starting_number=None, step=None)#

Create a new instance of this collection, with all new independent objects with new numbers.

This relies mostly on copy.deepcopy.

Notes

If starting_number, or step are not specified starting_number(), and step() are used as default values.

Added in version 0.5.0.

Parameters:

  • starting_number (int) – The starting number to request for a new object numbers.

  • step (int) – the step size to use to find a new valid number.

Returns:

a cloned copy of this object.

Parameters:

obj (Numbered_MCNP_Object) – the object to remove.

extend(other_list)#

Extends this collection with another list.

Parameters:

other_list (list) – the list of objects to add.

Raises:

NumberConflictError – if these items conflict with existing elements.

get(i, default=None)#

  • default (object) – value to return if not found

Return type:

Numbered_MCNP_Object

Parameters:

other (Self) – the set to compare to.

Return type:

bool

issubset(other: Self)#

Test whether every element in the collection is in other.

items() → Generator[Tuple[int, Numbered_MCNP_Object], None, None]#

Get iterator of the collections (number, object) pairs.

Return type:

tuple(int, MCNP_Object)

keys() → Generator[int, None, None]#

Get iterator of the collection’s numbers.

Return type:

int

Links the card to the parent problem for this card.

This is done so that cards can find links to other objects.

Parameters:

problem (MCNP_Problem) – The problem to link this card to.

next_number(step=1)#

Get the next available number, based on the maximum number.

This works by finding the current maximum number, and then adding the stepsize to it.

Parameters:

pos (int) – The index of the element to pop from the internal list.

Parameters:

delete (Numbered_MCNP_Object) – the object to delete

request_number(start_num=None, step=None)#

Requests a new available number.

This method does not “reserve” this number. Objects should be immediately added to avoid possible collisions caused by shifting numbers of other objects in the collection.

Notes

If starting_number, or step are not specified starting_number(), and step() are used as default values.

Changed in version 0.5.0: In 0.5.0 the default values were changed to reference starting_number() and step().

Parameters:

an available number
