object type
[t]=typeof(object)
:object Scilab object : :t string :
t=typeof(object) returns one of the following strings:
:”constant” if object is a real or complex matrix of double. : :”polynomial” if object is a `polynomial matrix`_. : :”function” if object is a function (Scilab code). See also
deff.
: :”handle” if object is an handle. : :”string” if object is a matrix made of `character strings`_. : :”boolean” if object is a boolean matrix. : :”list” if object is a list. : :”rational” if object is a rational matrix (transfer 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. : :”hypermat” if object is an hypermatrix (N-dimension array with N
>=3).
: :”st” if object is a structure. : :”ce” if object is a cell array. : :”fptr” if object is a built-in Scilab function, called also gateway
(C, C++ or Fortran code).
: :”pointer” if object is a pointer (See a use case: lufact). : :”size implicit” if object is a size implicit polynomial used for
indexing. This a purely internal value.
: :”library” if object is function library. : :”int8” or “uint8” or “int16” or “uint16” or “int32” or “uint32” if
object is a matrix of [unsigned] integers stored on 8, 16 or 32 bits. (See int)
:
Note that if the object is a tlist or mlist, typeof will return the first string in the first list entry
