Typedef - Other Languages

Other Languages

In many statically typed functional languages, like Haskell, Miranda, OCaml, etc., one can define type synonyms, which are the same as typedefs in C. An example in Haskell:

type PairOfInts = (Int, Int)

This example has defined a type synonym PairOfInts which means the same as a pair of Ints.

C# also contains a feature which is similar to the typedef of C; however, it must be redeclared for each separate file.
