Returns:

type of variable

resolveVariableType

public IType resolveVariableType(ASDefinitionCache cache)

Look up this variable in the given scope and find its definition

Parameters:

cache - existing ASDefinitionCache which may contain definitions that can be reused (null is OK)

Returns:

definition node for the variable
