Description copied from interface: LinearTypeOrderBuilder

Add pairs types[i] < types[i+1], for each i < (types.length-1), to the partial sort order. This method can be called as often as desired. It will throw an exception if the pairs could not be successfully added to the relation. A pair can not be added if the resulting relation is no longer a partial order. If you need to know exactly which pair fails, always call add() with a two-element array.

Specified by:

add in interface LinearTypeOrderBuilder

Throws:

CASException - When adding pairs would make order inconsistent.
