typeof - object type

Calling Sequence

[t]=typeof(object)

Parameters

• object : Scilab object
• t : string

Description

t=typeof(object) returns one of the following strings:

"constant"if object is a real or complex constant matrix

"polynomial"if object is a polynomial matrix

"function"if object is a function

"handle"if object is an handle

"string"if object is a matrix made of character strings

"boolean"if object is a boolean matrix

"state-space"if object is a state-space model (see syslin )

"sparse"if object is a (real) sparse matrix.

"boolean sparse"if object is a boolean sparse matrix.

if object is a tlist or mlist, t is the firststring in the first list entry.

Examples

typeof(1)
typeof(poly(0,'x'))

typeof(1/poly(0,'x'))
typeof(%t)

w=sprand(100,100,0.001);
typeof(w)
typeof(w==w)

deff('y=f(x)','y=2*x');
