## [Java] Class CastExpression

- org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.CastExpression

- Represents a type cast expression

- - ### Properties Summary

    Properties
    Type | Name and description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `coerce`
    `boolean` | `strict`

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor and description
    `CastExpression (ClassNode type, Expression expression)`
    `CastExpression (ClassNode type, Expression expression, boolean ignoreAutoboxing)`

  - ### Methods Summary

    Methods
    Type Params | Return Type | Name and description
    --- | --- | ---
    `` | `static CastExpression` | `asExpression(ClassNode type, Expression expression)`
    `` | `Expression` | `getExpression()`
    `` | `String` | `getText()`
    `` | `boolean` | `isCoerce()`
    `` | `boolean` | `isIgnoringAutoboxing()`
    `` | `boolean` | `isStrict()` If strict mode is true, then when the compiler generates a cast, it will disable Groovy casts and rely on a strict cast (CHECKCAST)
    `` | `void` | `setCoerce(boolean coerce)`
    `` | `void` | `setStrict(boolean strict)` If strict mode is true, then when the compiler generates a cast, it will disable Groovy casts and rely on a strict cast (CHECKCAST)
    `` | `void` | `setType(ClassNode t)`
    `` | `String` | `toString()`
    `` | `Expression` | `transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)`
    `` | `void` | `visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)`
