Type Signature
Type signatures (or Function types) are constructed from primitive and composite types, and can serve as types themselves when constructing composite types:
typedef struct { int x; int y; } Point; typedef double (*Metric) (Point p1, Point p2); typedef struct { Point centre; double radius; Metric metric; } Circle;Read more about this topic: Composite Data Type
Famous quotes containing the words type and/or signature:
“Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place.... A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character.”
—Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)
“The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, “I love children because they’re so honest.” There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent’s signature like a child.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
