octave: Data Types

 
 3 Data Types
 ************
 
 All versions of Octave include a number of built-in data types,
 including real and complex scalars and matrices, character strings, a
 data structure type, and an array that can contain all data types.
 
    It is also possible to define new specialized data types by writing a
 small amount of C++ code.  On some systems, new data types can be loaded
 dynamically while Octave is running, so it is not necessary to recompile
 all of Octave just to add a new type.  External Code Interface,
 User-defined Data Types:: describes what you must do to define a new
 data type for Octave.
 
  -- : typeinfo ()
  -- : typeinfo (EXPR)
 
      Return the type of the expression EXPR, as a string.
 
      If EXPR is omitted, return a cell array of strings containing all
      the currently installed data types.
