### Constructor Detail

#### Types

    public Types()

### Method Detail

#### ofType

    public static boolean ofType(int specific,
                 int general)

Given two types, returns true if the second describes the first.

#### canMean

    public static boolean canMean(int actual,
                  int preferred)

Given two types, returns true if the first can be viewed as the second. NOTE that `canMean()` is orthogonal to `ofType()`.

#### makePrefix

    public static void makePrefix(CSTNode node,
                  boolean throwIfInvalid)

Converts a node from a generic type to a specific prefix type. Throws a `GroovyBugError` if the type can't be converted and requested.

#### makePostfix

    public static void makePostfix(CSTNode node,
                   boolean throwIfInvalid)

Converts a node from a generic type to a specific postfix type. Throws a `GroovyBugError` if the type can't be converted.

#### getPrecedence

    public static int getPrecedence(int type,
                    boolean throwIfInvalid)

Returns the precendence of the specified operator. Non-operator's will receive -1 or a GroovyBugError, depending on your preference.

#### getKeywords

    public static java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getKeywords()

#### isKeyword

    public static boolean isKeyword(java.lang.String text)

#### lookup

    public static int lookup(java.lang.String text,
             int filter)

Returns the type for the specified symbol/keyword text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found. You can filter finds on a type.

#### lookupKeyword

    public static int lookupKeyword(java.lang.String text)

Returns the type for the specified keyword text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found.

#### lookupSymbol

    public static int lookupSymbol(java.lang.String text)

Returns the type for the specified symbol text. Returns UNKNOWN if the text isn't found.

#### getText

    public static java.lang.String getText(int type)

Returns the text for the specified type. Returns "" if the text isn't found.
