typeof?

brooke_spreen

Is there an analog of Javascript's "typeof" in Featurescript?

In other words, is there a way to ask the open-ended question "what is the type of this variable"?

Note that this is a different question than "is this variable of the type 'myType'", which returns a boolean.

As an example, when debugging, it would be very useful to do:

println(typeof myVar);

example output:

Array

or

Query

Sadly there are no capability like this in fs. Only if tests, not even case/match statements, though these keywords are reserved so it may come once.

Bummer! Maybe one day the typeof will come as well...

you can use this

If(myVar is Plane)
{
} 
else if(myVar is Query
{

}
elseif(myVar is Array)
{

}
else if(myVar is Map) 
{

}

it works for any type and passes through the type check function of each type.
