Method Details

toArray

default ClassElement toArray()

Description copied from interface: ClassElement

Convert the class element to an element for the same type, but representing an array. Do not mutate the existing instance. Create a new instance instead.

Specified by:

toArray in interface ClassElement

Returns:

A new class element

fromArray

default ClassElement fromArray()

Description copied from interface: ClassElement

Dereference a class element denoting an array type by converting it to its element type. Do not mutate the existing instance. Create a new instance instead.

Specified by:

fromArray in interface ClassElement

Returns:

A new class element

withArrayDimensions

ClassElement withArrayDimensions(int arrayDimensions)

Convert the class element to an element for the same type, but with the given number of array dimensions. Do not mutate the existing instance. Create a new instance instead.

Parameters:

arrayDimensions - The number of array dimensions of the new class element

Returns:

A new class element
