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:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“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)
