2.10 Objects

We conclude this chapter by noting that the function typeof returns the type of the various Scilab objects. The following objects are defined:

• usual for matrices with real or complex entries.
• polynomial for polynomial matrices: coefficients can be real or complex.
• boolean for boolean matrices.
• character for matrices of character strings.
• function for functions.
• rational for rational matrices (syslin lists)
• state-space for linear systems in state-space form (syslin lists).
• sparse for sparse constant matrices (real or complex)
• boolean sparse for sparse boolean matrices.
• list for ordinary lists.
• tlist for typed lists.
• state-space (or rational) for syslin lists.
• library for library definition.
