If one would like to know what ArrayType is, she / he can take a look at array_type.go. I have written some exlanation in the comments.

Let me take the comments in array_type.go as example. There are two kinds of ArrayType, Array and Slice. For Array, there are two children node, BasicLit and Ident. For Slice, there are only one child node, Ident.

Note that - in the comments means the tree edge.

package goast

// Array

// ArrayType ([10]int)
// - BasicLit(10)
// - Ident(int)
var arr [10]int

// Slice

// ArrayType ([]int)
// - Ident(int)
var slice []int
