Syntaxes

This class defines these predicates that act on the objects of this class. In addition, objects of this class can access the predicates defined by the base class AstNodeProperties. An object of this class is an object of AstNodeProperties class.

Predicates	Description
`is(required ElseClause &elseClause)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `ElseClause` in your C/C++ code and returns them as `elseClause`. For example, in `if (x) foo(); else bar();`, this predicate matches the else clause node for `else bar();`.
`isa(Cpp.Node.Node node)`	Checks if `node` is an `ElseClause`. Use this relation if you want to negate the condition (for example: `not Cpp.ElseClause.isa(n)`).
`cast(Cpp.Node.Node node, required ElseClause &cast)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `ElseClause` from the nodes in `node`. Retrieval occurs if `node` is compatible with the `ElseClause` type. Use this relation if you need further `ElseClause` properties.
`statement(ElseClause self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches the statement inside the else clause. For example, in `else bar();`, this predicate matches the statement `bar();`.
`isEnclosedInElseClause(Cpp.Node.Node child)`	Checks if `child` appears inside an `ElseClause`.
`getEnclosingElseClause(Cpp.Node.Node child, required ElseClause &parent)`	Finds the nearest enclosing `ElseClause` ancestor of `child` and returns it as `parent`.
