    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `EJBQLExpression` | `getChild(int index)` Returns a child expression node at the specified index.
    `int` | `getChildrenCount()` Returns a number of child operands of this expression node.
    `String` | `getText()` Returns a text property of the node.
    `boolean` | `isNegated()` Returns an optional boolean flag that negates the value of the expression.
    `void` | `visit(EJBQLExpressionVisitor visitor)` Accepts a visitor, calling appropriate visitor method.

    - #### getChildrenCount

          int getChildrenCount()

      Returns a number of child operands of this expression node.

    - #### getChild

          EJBQLExpression getChild(int index)

      Returns a child expression node at the specified index.

    - #### getText

          String getText()
