AFAIK the tree of that statement will be the following:

AssigmentNode
Left: Loadnode for i
Right: BinaryNode for /:
  Left: Loadnode for j
  Right: Constnode for 10.0
  Resultdef: floatdef (not necessarily the def of i)

If i and the resultdef of the binary node are not the same a typeconvnode
will also be added, where:
Left: the binary node
Right: Nil (AFAIK a typeconvnode doesn't have a right node at all...)
Resultdef: the degree if the target type (here the def if i)

AFAIK FPC has an option for this. Call the compiler using -h and check the
-v options. One of them should dump the tree to a txt file.
