Class InferenceVariable

java.lang.Object

com.github.javaparser.symbolsolver.resolution.typeinference.InferenceVariable

All Implemented Interfaces:

ResolvedType

public class InferenceVariable
extends Object
implements ResolvedType

Are meta-variables for types - that is, they are special names that allow abstract reasoning about types. To distinguish them from type variables, inference variables are represented with Greek letters, principally α. See JLS 18
