All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`apply(Switch sw)`	Method required for use of Switchable.
`boolean`	`equals(Object t)`
`Type`	`getArrayElementType()`	If I have a variable x of declared type t, what is a good declared type for the expression ((Object[]) x)[i]? The getArrayElementType() method in RefLikeType was introduced even later to answer this question for all classes implementing RefLikeType.

  - getArrayElementType
```
public Type getArrayElementType()
```
    Description copied from class: RefLikeType
    
    If I have a variable x of declared type t, what is a good declared type for the expression ((Object[]) x)[i]? The getArrayElementType() method in RefLikeType was introduced even later to answer this question for all classes implementing RefLikeType. If t is an array, then the answer is the same as getElementType(). But t could also be Object, Serializable, or Cloneable, which can all hold any array, so then the answer is Object.
