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.
