Method Detail

getBasicType

public Type getBasicType()
Returns:
basic type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the basic type is int

getElementType

public Type getElementType()
Returns:
element type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the element type is int[][]

getDimensions

public int getDimensions()
Returns:
number of dimensions of array

hashcode

public int hashcode()
Returns:
a hash code value for the object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object type)
Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object
