Type

inherits : Object

A representation of a ChucK type.

examples

constructors

Type()

Default constructor for Type.

member functions

int arrayDepth()

Return the number of array dimensions associated with this Type (e.g., 'int[][]' has 2; 'int' has 0).

string baseName()

Return the base name of this Type. The base of name of an array Type is the type without the array dimensions (e.g., base name of 'int[][]' is 'int')

Type[] children()

Retrieve this Type's children Types.

int equals(Type another)

Return whether this Type is same as 'another'.

int isArray()

Return whether this Type is some kind of an array.

int isPrimitive()

Return whether this is a primitive Type (e.g., 'int' and 'dur' are primitives types; 'Object' and its children Types are not).

int isa(Type another)

Return whether this Type is a kind of 'another'.

int isa(string another)

Return whether this Type is a kind of 'another'.

string name()

Return the name of this Type.

string origin()

Return a string describing where this Type was defined (e.g., "builtin", "chugin", "cklib", "user").

Type parent()

Return this Type's parent Type; returns null if this Type is 'Object'.

static member functions

Type find(string typeName)

Find and return the Type associated with 'typeName'; returns null if no Types currently in the VM with that name.

Type[] getTypes(int attributes, int origins)

Retrieve all top-level Types in the ChucK runtime type system that fit the attributes and origins flags. Flags that can bitwise-OR'ed for attributes: Type.ATTRIB_OBJECT, Type.ATTRIB_PRIMITIVE, TYPE_SPECIAL -- and for origins: Type.ORIGIN_BUILTIN, Type.ORIGIN_CHUGIN, Type.ORIGIN_CKLIB, Type.ORIGIN_USER.

Type[] getTypes()

Retrieves all top-level Types currently in the type system.

Type of(Object obj)

Return the Type of 'obj'

Type of(int val)

Return the Type associated with 'int'.

Type of(float val)

Return the Type associated with 'float'.

Type of(time val)

Return the Type associated with 'time'.

Type of(dur val)

Return the Type associated with 'dur'.

Type of(complex val)

Return the Type associated with 'complex'.

Type of(polar val)

Return the Type associated with 'polar'.

Type of(vec3 val)

Return the Type associated with 'vec3'.

Type of(vec4 val)

Return the Type associated with 'vec4'.

static member variables

int BUILTIN

Origin bit for "builtin".

int CHUGIN

Origin bit for "chugin".

int CKLIB

Origin bit for "cklib".

int OBJECT

Attribute bit for non-primitive Object types.

int PRIMITIVE

Attribute bit for primitive types.

int SPECIAL

Attribute bit for special types (e.g., @array and @function).

int USER

Origin bit for "user".


StringTokenizer
