type/relation - Maple Help

type

 relation

 Calling Sequence type(expr, relation)

Parameters

 expr - any expression

Description

 • These functions return true if expr is of the specified type, and false otherwise.
 • An expression is of type relation if it is of type $\mathrm{=}$, $\mathrm{<>}$, $\mathrm{<}$, or $\mathrm{<=}$.
 • For each of the types f, where f is one of $\mathrm{=}$, $\mathrm{<>}$, $\mathrm{<}$, or $\mathrm{<=}$, x is of type f if op(0, x) = f.
 • Note: Expressions formed using the operators > and >= are automatically converted to expressions of type < and <=, respectively.
