# class Prism::MultiTargetNode

Represents a multi-target expression.

    a, (b, c) = 1, 2, 3
       ^^^^^^

This can be a part of ‘MultiWriteNode` as above, or the target of a `for` loop

    for a, b in [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
        ^^^^

### Attributes

lefts [R]

Represents the targets expressions before a splat node.

    a, (b, c, *) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
        ^^^^

The splat node can be absent, in that case all target expressions are in the left field.

    a, (b, c) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
        ^^^^

rest [R]

Represents a splat node in the target expression.

    a, (b, *c) = 1, 2, 3, 4
           ^^

The variable can be empty, this results in a ‘SplatNode` with a `nil` expression field.

    a, (b, *) = 1, 2, 3, 4
           ^

If the ‘*` is omitted, this field will contain an `ImplicitRestNode`

    a, (b,) = 1, 2, 3, 4
         ^

rights [R]

Represents the targets expressions after a splat node.

    a, (*, b, c) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
           ^^^^

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 13170
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(MultiTargetNode) &&
        (lefts.length == other.lefts.length) &&
        lefts.zip(other.lefts).all? { |left, right| left === right } &&
        (rest === other.rest) &&
        (rights.length == other.rights.length) &&
        rights.zip(other.rights).all? { |left, right| left === right } &&
        (lparen_loc.nil? == other.lparen_loc.nil?) &&
        (rparen_loc.nil? == other.rparen_loc.nil?)
    end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.
