  • Constructor Details

    • Sprocket

      public Sprocket(double[] sprocketReductionStage)
      Create the sprocket given the teeth of each sprocket in the chain.
      Parameters:
      sprocketReductionStage - Sprocket teeth, in the form of "IN:OUT" => IN/OUT

    • Sprocket

      public Sprocket(String[] reductionStage)
      Construct the Sprocket with the reduction stages given.
      Parameters:
      reductionStage - List of stages in the format of "IN:OUT".

      Parameters:
      stages - List of stages in the format of "IN:OUT".
      Returns:
      Sprocket representation

    • times

      public Sprocket times(double x)
      Multiply the sprocket reduction ratio by X.
      Parameters:
      x - X to multiply by.
      Returns:
      Sprocket for chaining.

    • div

      public Sprocket div(double x)
      Divide the sprocket reduction ratio by X.
      Parameters:
      x - X to divide by.
