    - #### protected MethodNode()

    - #### public MethodNode(String name, int modifiers, ClassNode returnType, Parameter[] parameters, ClassNode[] exceptions, Statement code)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public Statement getCode()

    - #### public ClassNode[] getExceptions()

    - #### public Statement getFirstStatement()

    - #### public GenericsType[] getGenericsTypes()

    - #### public int getModifiers()

    - #### public String getName()

    - #### public Parameter[] getParameters()

    - #### public ClassNode getReturnType()

    - #### @Override
      public String getText()

    - #### public String getTypeDescriptor()

      The type descriptor for a method node is a string containing the name of the method, its return type, and its parameter types in a canonical form. For simplicity, we use the format of a Java declaration without parameter names or generics.

    - #### @Deprecated
      public String getTypeDescriptor(boolean pretty)

      deprecated:
        use MethodNodeUtils.methodDescriptor

    - #### public VariableScope getVariableScope()

    - #### public boolean hasAnnotationDefault()

      Returns:
        `true` if annotation method has a default value

    - #### public boolean hasDefaultValue()

      Returns:
        `true` if any parameter has a default value

    - #### public boolean isAbstract()

    - #### public boolean isConstructor()

      Since:
        4.0.0

    - #### public boolean isDefault()

    - #### public boolean isDynamicReturnType()

    - #### public boolean isFinal()

    - #### public boolean isPackageScope()

    - #### public boolean isPrivate()

    - #### public boolean isProtected()

    - #### public boolean isPublic()

    - #### public boolean isScriptBody()

      Returns:
        `true` if this method is the run method from a script

    - #### public boolean isStatic()

    - #### public boolean isStaticConstructor()

    - #### public boolean isSyntheticPublic()

      Indicates that this method has been "promoted" to public by Groovy when in fact there was no public modifier explicitly in the source code. I.e. it remembers that it has applied Groovy's "public methods by default" rule. This property is typically only of interest to AST transform writers.

      Returns:
        `true` if this class is public but had no explicit public modifier

    - #### public boolean isVoidMethod()

    - #### public void setAnnotationDefault(boolean hasDefaultValue)

    - #### public void setCode(Statement code)

    - #### public void setGenericsTypes(GenericsType[] genericsTypes)

    - #### public void setIsScriptBody()

      Sets the flag for this method to indicate it is a script body implementation.
