AdvanceType (Repast Simphony 2.10 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<AdvanceType>
- - repast.simphony.parameter.optimizer.AdvanceType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<AdvanceType>
```
public enum AdvanceType
extends Enum<AdvanceType>
```
This represents the directions/actions the sweeper can take. These correlate to the methods in OptimizableParameterSetter. An AdvancementChooser will specify one of these types and the parameter sweeper will attempt to follow that instruction if it can.

  - values
```
public static AdvanceType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (AdvanceType c : AdvanceType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static AdvanceType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
