    - #### ArrayType

          public ArrayType(byte type,
                           int dimensions)

      Convenience constructor for array type, e.g. int[]
      Parameters:
        `type` - array type, e.g. T_INT

    - #### ArrayType

          public ArrayType(String className,
                           int dimensions)

      Convenience constructor for reference array type, e.g. Object[]
      Parameters:
        `className` - complete name of class (java.lang.String, e.g.)

    - #### ArrayType

          public ArrayType(Type type,
                           int dimensions)

      Constructor for array of given type
      Parameters:
        `type` - type of array (may be an array itself)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object type)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Type`
      Returns:
        true if both type objects refer to the same array type.

    - #### getBasicType

          public Type getBasicType()

      Returns:
        basic type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the basic type is int

    - #### getDimensions

          public int getDimensions()

      Returns:
        number of dimensions of array

    - #### getElementType

          public Type getElementType()

      Returns:
        element type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the element type is int[][]

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Type`
      Returns:
        a hash code value for the object.
