  Description copied from interface: ExpressionInterface
  
  QDL is not strongly typed but Java is, so each node type should have a unique integer and conditionals should use that, not the instanceof operator. This allows for efficient programming with switch statements rather than a bevy of conditionals (potentially each of which gets done even if the correct case has been handled).
  
  Returns:
