Interface IntersectionType

All Superinterfaces:: AnnotatedConstruct, TypeMirror

public interface IntersectionType extends TypeMirror

Represents an intersection type.

An intersection type can be either implicitly or explicitly declared in a program. For example, the bound of the type parameter <T extends Number & Runnable> is an (implicit) intersection type. This is represented by an IntersectionType with Number and Runnable as its bounds.

Implementation Note:: In the reference implementation an IntersectionType is used to model the explicit target type of a cast expression.
Since:: 1.8

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<R,P> R`	`accept(TypeVisitor<R,P> v, P p)`	Applies a visitor to this type.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Obeys the general contract of `Object.equals`.
`<A extends Annotation> A`	`getAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)`	Returns this construct's annotation of the specified type if such an annotation is present, else `null`.
`List<? extends AnnotationMirror>`	`getAnnotationMirrors()`	Returns the annotations that are directly present on this construct.
`<A extends Annotation> A[]`	`getAnnotationsByType(Class<A> annotationType)`	Returns annotations of the specified type that are associated with this construct.
`TypeKind`	`getKind()`	Returns the `kind` of this type.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Obeys the general contract of `Object.hashCode`.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns an informative string representation of this type.
