All Implemented Interfaces:

NodeMetaDataHandler

public class CaseStatement
extends Statement

Represents a case statement within a SwitchStatement. A case statement consists of a pattern (expression) to match against the switch control expression and the statement to execute if the pattern matches. In Groovy, case patterns support various expression types for flexible matching behavior.

Constructor Details

CaseStatement

public CaseStatement(Expression expression,
 Statement code)

Constructs a case statement with the given expression pattern and code block.

Parameters:

expression - the Expression pattern to match against the switch control expression

code - the Statement to execute if the pattern matches

Method Details

getCode

public Statement getCode()

Returns the statement executed if this case pattern matches.

Returns:

the Statement associated with this case

setCode

public void setCode(Statement code)

Sets the statement executed if this case pattern matches.

Parameters:

code - the Statement to execute

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the pattern expression matched against the switch control expression.

Returns:

the pattern Expression

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression e)

Sets the pattern expression matched against the switch control expression.

Parameters:

e - the pattern Expression

visit

public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Accepts a code visitor for AST traversal and transformation. Subclasses must implement this method to support visitor pattern-based processing. The visitor pattern enables decoupling of AST structure from processing logic.

Overrides:

visit in class ASTNode

Parameters:

visitor - the GroovyCodeVisitor to process this node

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
