I'd go with https://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/types/#singleton-types ?

Re: [julia-users] Newbie question about function name(::Type syntax
I think it is implied that you can do this: there are quite a few examples in the manual, eg https://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/types/#value-types Best, Tamas On Tue, Apr 21 2015, Scott Jones wrote: > Ah, thanks for the *very* quick reply.

Re: [julia-users] Newbie question about function name(::Type syntax
Ah, thanks for the *very* quick reply. That’s quite useful. Did I somehow miss the explanation in the documentation (of 0.4), or does that need to be added to the documentation of methods?

Re: [julia-users] Newbie question about function name(::Type syntax
It means that the argument doesn't get a local name but the method is only called if the argument in that position matches the type on the RHS of the :: On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 11:37 AM, Scott Jones wrote: > Just what does it mean, if there is a type but no formal parameter name, > in a function definition? > I tried to find it in the documentation, but nothing came up... > > Thanks, > Scott > >
[julia-users] Newbie question about function name(::Type syntax
Just what does it mean, if there is a type but no formal parameter name, in a function definition? I tried to find it in the documentation, but nothing came up... Thanks, Scott
