Interface IWhileLoopNode

All Superinterfaces:

IASNode, IConditionalNode, ISourceLocation, IStatementNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

DoWhileLoopNode, WhileLoopNode

public interface IWhileLoopNode
extends IConditionalNode

An AST node representing a while or do-while statement.

The shape of this node is

 IWhileLoopNode
   IExpressionNode <-- getConditionalExpressionNode()
   IBlockNode      <-- getStatementContentsNode()
 

in the case of a while statement and

 IWhileLoopNode
   IBlockNode      <-- getStatementContentsNode()
   IExpressionNode <-- getConditionalExpressionNode()
 

in the case of a do-while statement. Example 1:

 while (a > b)
 {
     a--;
     b++;
 }
 

is represented as

 IWhileLoopNode
   IBinaryOperatorNode ">"
     IIdentifierNode "a"
     IIdentiferNode "b"
   IBlockNode
     IUnaryOperatorNode "--"
       IIdentifierNode "a"
     IUnaryOperatorNode "++"
       IIdentifierNode "b"
 

Example 2:

 do
 {
     a--;
     b++;
 }
 while (a > b)
 

is represented as

 IWhileLoopNode
   IBlockNode
     IUnaryOperatorNode "--"
       IIdentifierNode "a"
     IUnaryOperatorNode "++"
       IIdentifierNode "b"
   IBinaryOperatorNode ">"
     IIdentifierNode "a"
     IIdentiferNode "b"
 

An implicit IBlockNode is created when there are no curly braces.
