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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:

Parameters:

expression - the new expression node

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:

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