Predicates
| getADependency | A dependency of this element, intended to be overridden by subclasses, for use with the “level metric”. |
| getADependencySrc | Gets a dependency of this element that is from source. |
| getALevel | An element has no level defined if it is cyclically dependent on itself. Otherwise, it has: |
| getCyclomaticComplexity | Gets the cyclomatic complexity of this element. This default implementation must be overridden in subclasses. |
| getHalsteadLength | Gets the Halstead length of this element. This default implementation must be overridden in subclasses. |
| getHalsteadVocabulary | Gets the Halstead vocabulary of this element. This default implementation must be overridden in subclasses. |
| getHalsteadVolume | The Halstead volume is the product of Halstead length and binary logarithm of Halstead vocabulary. |
| getLevel | John Lakos’ level metric. |
| getMaintainabilityIndex | The maintainability index is a composite number expressing the ease of maintainability of a program or one of its components. |
| getMaintainabilityIndexCommentWeight | Gets the maintainability index comment weight. |
| getMaintainabilityIndexWithoutComments | Gets the maintainability index without comment weight. |
| getPercentageOfComments | Gets the percentage of comments in this element. This default implementation must be overridden in subclasses. |
Inherited predicates
| compilerGeneratedReason | Gets the reason this element was generated by the compiler, if any. | from Element |

| fromSource | Holds if this element pertains to a source file. | from Element |
| getAPrimaryQlClass | Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs. | from Top |
| getCompilationUnit | Gets the compilation unit that this element belongs to. | from Element |
| getDoc | Cast this element to a | from Element |
| getFile | Gets the file associated with this element. | from Top |
| getLocation | Gets the source location for this element. | from Top |
| getName | Gets the name of this element. | from Element |
| getNumberOfCommentLines | Gets the number of comment lines that this element ranges over. | from Top |
| getNumberOfLinesOfCode | Gets the number of lines of code that this element ranges over. | from Top |
| getPrimaryQlClasses | Gets a comma-separated list of the names of the primary CodeQL classes to which this element belongs. | from Top |

| hasName | Holds if this element has the specified | from Element |
| isCompilerGenerated | Holds if this is an auxiliary program element generated by the compiler. | from Element |
| isStub | Holds if this element is from source and classified as a stub implementation. An implementation is considered a stub, if the the path to the source file contains | from Element |
| toString | Gets a textual representation of this element. | from Top |
