Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public ExpressionTree	Returns: the expression getExpression() Returns the expression to be tested.
public PatternTree	Returns: the tested pattern, or `null` if this `instanceof` does not use a pattern getPattern() Returns the tested pattern, or `null` if this `instanceof` does not use a pattern.
public Tree	Returns: the type or `null` if this `instanceof` uses a pattern other than the BindingPatternTree getType() Returns the type for which to check, or `null` if this `instanceof` uses a pattern other the `BindingPatternTree`.

getExpression	back to summary
public ExpressionTree getExpression() Returns the expression to be tested. Returns:ExpressionTree the expression

getExpression

public ExpressionTree getExpression()

Returns the expression to be tested.

getPattern back to summary

getPattern	back to summary
public PatternTree getPattern() Returns the tested pattern, or `null` if this `instanceof` does not use a pattern. For instanceof with a pattern, i.e. in the following form: expression instanceof pattern returns the pattern. For `instanceof` without a pattern, i.e. in the following form: expression instanceof type returns `null`. Returns:PatternTree the tested pattern, or `null` if this `instanceof` does not use a pattern Since 16

public PatternTree getPattern()

Returns the tested pattern, or null if this instanceof does not use a pattern.

For instanceof with a pattern, i.e. in the following form:

  expression instanceof pattern

returns the pattern.

For instanceof without a pattern, i.e. in the following form:

  expression instanceof type

returns null.

Returns:PatternTree: the tested pattern, or null if this instanceof does not use a pattern
Since: 16

getType back to summary

getType	back to summary
public Tree getType() Returns the type for which to check, or `null` if this `instanceof` uses a pattern other the `BindingPatternTree`. For `instanceof` without a pattern, i.e. in the following form: expression instanceof type returns the type. For `instanceof` with a `BindingPatternTree`, i.e. in the following form: expression instanceof type variable_name returns the type. For instanceof with a pattern, i.e. in the following form: expression instanceof pattern returns `null`. Returns:Tree the type or `null` if this `instanceof` uses a pattern other than the BindingPatternTree See Also `getPattern()`

public Tree getType()

Returns the type for which to check, or null if this instanceof uses a pattern other the BindingPatternTree.

For instanceof without a pattern, i.e. in the following form:

  expression instanceof type

returns the type.

For instanceof with a BindingPatternTree, i.e. in the following form:

  expression instanceof type variable_name

returns the type.

For instanceof with a pattern, i.e. in the following form:

  expression instanceof pattern

returns null.

Returns:Tree: the type or null if this instanceof uses a pattern other than the BindingPatternTree
