"NumericArray" (Compiled Type)

"NumericArray"::[type,rank]

represents a numeric array composite type with elements of specified type and rank.

Details

  • "NumericArray" can be used in Typed and related constructs to specify a type.

Constructors

  • NumericArray[{…},type] creates a numeric array with the specified element type.
  • CreateTypeInstance["NumericArray"::[type,rank],array] constructs a copy of array.
  • CreateTypeInstance["NumericArray"::[type,1],carr,len] constructs a numeric array from a "CArray" carr with length len. carr can optionally be wrapped in "Managed".

Properties

  • Information[array,"ElementType"] for array of type "NumericArray"::[type,rank] gives type .

Conversions

    Expressions

  • "NumericArray" objects can be converted to and from NumericArray expressions.

    • "ListVector"

  • "NumericArray" objects can be converted to and from "ListVector" objects.

Runtime Errors

    ArrayPartError

  • Elements with types constructed from "NumericArray" can give a runtime error if used in an operation that extracts parts.
