## Enum Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation>
  - - opennlp.tools.tokenize.Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation>
  Enclosing interface:
    Detokenizer

      public static enum Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation
      extends Enum<Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation>

  This enum contains an operation for every token to merge the tokens together to their detokenized form.

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `MERGE_BOTH` The current token should be attached to the string on the left side, as well as to the begin token on the right side.
    `MERGE_TO_LEFT` The current token should be attached to the string on the left side.
    `MERGE_TO_RIGHT` The current token should be attached to the begin token on the right side.
    `NO_OPERATION` Do not perform a merge operation for this token, but is possible that another token can be attached to the left or right side of this one.

    - #### MERGE_TO_RIGHT

          public static final Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation MERGE_TO_RIGHT

      The current token should be attached to the begin token on the right side.

    - #### MERGE_TO_LEFT

          public static final Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation MERGE_TO_LEFT

      The current token should be attached to the string on the left side.

    - #### MERGE_BOTH

          public static final Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation MERGE_BOTH

      The current token should be attached to the string on the left side, as well as to the begin token on the right side.

    - #### NO_OPERATION

          public static final Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation NO_OPERATION

      Do not perform a merge operation for this token, but is possible that another token can be attached to the left or right side of this one.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation[] 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 (Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation c : Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static Detokenizer.DetokenizationOperation 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
