### Public Class Methods

def initialize: (parent: `Node`?, child: `Node`, `delimiter_loc`: `Location`, location: `Location`) -> void

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 4742
    def initialize(parent, child, delimiter_loc, location)
      @parent = parent
      @child = child
      @delimiter_loc = delimiter_loc
      @location = location
    end

Similar to `type`, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like `type`, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.

Sometimes you want to check an instance of a node against a list of classes to see what kind of behavior to perform. Usually this is done by calling ‘[cls1, cls2].include?(node.class)` or putting the node into a case statement and doing `case node; when cls1; when cls2; end`. Both of these approaches are relatively slow because of the constant lookups, method calls, and/or array allocations.

Instead, you can call `type`, which will return to you a symbol that you can use for comparison. This is faster than the other approaches because it uses a single integer comparison, but also because if you’re on CRuby you can take advantage of the fact that case statements with all symbol keys will use a jump table.
