Inductive Data Type

Inductive data type may refer to:

  • Recursive data type, a data type for values that may contain other values of the same type. Data of recursive types are usually viewed as directed graphs
  • Algebraic data type, a datatype each of whose values is data from other datatypes wrapped in one of the constructors of the datatype
  • Inductive family, a family of inductive data types indexed by another type or value

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or type:

    To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the hustler but the whittler.
