[types [ [,names]]=typename()
an integer column vector: the types codes of each defined data types.
a column vector of strings: the names associated to type codes.
The function and operator overloading make use of a formal name
associated to data types to form the name of the overloading function
(see overloading). The typename
can be used to handle this
formal names for hard coded data types (the tlist
or mlist
coded data types formal names are defined in another way, see overloading).
typename
returns information on defined data types.
