Question

Please refer to this API. The link is:

http://download.carrot2.org/stable/javadoc/org/carrot2/text/preprocessing/pipeline/CompletePreprocessingPipeline.html

Class CompletePreprocessingPipeline

Field Summary
 DocumentAssigner   documentAssigner
          Document assigner used by the algorithm, contains bindable attributes.

Then I found some example using completePreprocessingPipeline this way

completePreprocessingPipeline().documentAssigner()exactPhraseAssignment(true)

I do not understand the relationship between “completePreprocessingPipeline” and “documentAssigner” in terms of “field vs.class”.

Answer 1

A class contains fields. All instance of that class have those fields.

In the first example, The Bicycle class has three fields cadence, dear and speed.

This is standard Java code structure, nothing special about it. I suggest you learn some Java and the Javadocs may make more sense.
