Returns:

the type

setType

public void setType(Type type)

Sets the type in this cast expression to the given type.

Parameters:

type - the new type

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression of this cast expression.

Returns:

the expression node

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Parameters:

expression - the new expression node

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created
