type/integer

check for an object of type integer

 Calling Sequence type(x, integer) type(x, integer[n]) type(x, integer[a..b])

Parameters

 x - any expression n - 1, 2, 4, or 8 a, b - integers with $a\le b$

Description

 • The type(x, integer) function returns true if x is a Maple integer.
 • If the type is provided with a single integer index n, then type(expr, integer[n]) returns true if, and only if, $n$ is one of $1$, $2$, $4$, or $8$, and expr is an integer representable as a signed $n$-byte hardware integer.
 • The call type(expr, integer[a .. b]) returns true if, and only if, expr is an integer satisfying the inequalities $a\le \mathrm{expr}$ and $\mathrm{expr}\le b$, where a and b are integers with $a\le b$.
