See in example "Class special case" for how to handle Class types.
The following values can be return:
Primitive types
// Undefined variable check
type(bar); // undefined
foo.type(); // undefined
// String check
my_str = "Allo";
type(my_str); // string
my_str.type(); // string
// Integer check
my_int = 12;
type(my_int); // int
my_int.type(); // int
// Float
my_flt = 1.2;
type(my_flt); // float
my_flt.type(); // float
// Bool
my_bool = true;
type(my_bool); // bool
my_bool.type(); // bool
// Null
my_null = null;
type(my_null); // null
my_null.type(); // null
// Array
my_arr = ["Allo", "Monde"];
type(my_arr); // array
my_arr.type(); // array
// Context
my_ctx = {"att": "ribute"};
type(my_ctx); // context
my_ctx.type(); // context
// User function study
function main()
endf
type(main); // user function
main.type(); // user function
// Language reserved word
type(exec); // c function
exec.type(); // c function
Class special case
class My_class
method My_class(param)
this.param = param;
endm
endc
my_instance = new My_class("Allo");
type(my_instance); // class
my_instance.type(); // WATCH OUT!! Sncode error page: "This method 'type' is not defined for class 'My_class'."
// Class with method `type` defined
class My_class
method My_class(param)
this.param = param;
endm
// Defined a function type
method type()
return classtype(this);
endm
endc
my_instance2 = new My_class("Allo2");
my_instance.type(); // My_class <- DIFFERENT!
type(my_instance); // class <- DIFFERENT!
