3.1.2 Typing An Expression

Since the expression evaluator allows data types the expression itself has a defined type, which may one of the allowed proper data types or the special void type.

Determining the expression type (i.e. the type to which it evaluates) can be done as:

type = x1f4_type_expression(expression);

See x1f4_type_expression.

In this example no application defined types were introduces and thus the type variable can only have one of X1f4_E4_BILL, X1f4_E4_MODE, X1f4_E4_REAL, X1f4_E4_TEXT or X1f4_E4_VOID values after the x1f4_type_expression function call. The values indicate cardinal, integer, real, string and the special no value (void) types, correspondingly.

See Intrinsic Types.

See Symbolic Types.

The C types correspoding the logical cardinal, integer, real and string types are defined as X1f4_E4_C_BILL, X1f4_E4_C_MODE, X1f4_E4_C_REAL and X1f4_E4_C_TEXT.
