stats is short for statements while children is what it's. I ran both methods and it seems results are same. Can someone please point to me a more detailed differentiation between both.
Attaching a sample code, feel free to run it on Scastie(https://scastie.scala-lang.org/A6huYabOTGmpZu9HRa6UZw)
val program = """
object Main {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
println("Hello Scalameta!")
}
def cats(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
println("Ancient cat here!")
}
def bats(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
println("Ancient bat here!")
}
def dragons = {
bats(List())
cats(List())
}
val ancient = dragons()
}
"""
import scala.meta._
val tree = program.parse[Source].get
println(tree.stats.head.children)
println("-----------------------\n")
tree.children.head.children.tail.head.children.foreach(child => {
println(s"${child.productPrefix} From: ${child.pos.startLine} and End: ${child.pos.endLine}")
println(child)
println("-----------------------\n")
})
