Direct Known Subclasses:

DeviceState

public class UncertainValue

extends Value

This class can be used to encapsulate a response that you are not sure of. I created it thinking of device control -- when you ask for the status of a device, some controllers are more sure of their answers than others and I thought it would be good to include this certainty with the actual response.
