\chapter{Built-in Types, Exceptions and Functions}
|
|
|
|
\nodename{Built-in Objects}
|
|
|
|
Names for built-in exceptions and functions are found in a separate
|
|
symbol table. This table is searched last, so local and global
|
|
user-defined names can override built-in names. Built-in types have
|
|
no names but are created easily by constructing an object of the
|
|
desired type (e.g., using a literal) and applying the built-in
|
|
function \code{type()} to it. They are described together here for
|
|
easy reference.%
|
|
\footnote{Some descriptions sorely lack explanations of the exceptions
|
|
that may be raised --- this will be fixed in a future version of
|
|
this document.}
