# class Prism::Location

This represents a location in the source.

### Attributes

length [R]

### Public Class Methods

new (source, start_offset, length)
Source

    # File lib/prism/parse_result.rb, line 288
    def initialize(source, start_offset, length)
      @source = source
      @start_offset = start_offset
      @length = length

      # These are used to store comments that are associated with this location.
      # They are initialized to `nil` to save on memory when there are no
      # comments to be attached and/or the comment-related APIs are not used.
      @leading_comments = nil
      @trailing_comments = nil
    end

Create a new location object with the given source, start byte offset, and byte length.

### Public Instance Methods

== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/parse_result.rb, line 476
    def ==(other)
