Method Detail

name

public String name()

All other forms of expression become temporary variables which are instead referenced by a VarSnippet.

Returns:

the name of the variable which is the subject of the expression.

typeName

public String typeName()

Type of the expression

Returns:

String representation of the type of the expression.
