typeof
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 |
| "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. |
| if object is a tlist or mlist, t is the first | string in the first list entry. |
Examples
