Table Value Type

A table value is a generic holder for a single value that can be inserted into a table: it can hold either a Real number or a String, but not both at once — which of the two it actually holds isn't fixed by the type itself, only by what was put into it.

Graphical representation of the table value editor

The table value editor presents a field where either a number or a quoted string can be typed directly.

Table values can be represented using the standard Dinamica EGO notation for numbers and strings.

• Converted from: Real Value Type, Integer Value Type, Non Negative Integer Value Type, Positive Integer Value Type, Name Type, String Type, Generic Filename Type, Map Filename Type, Table Filename Type, Lookup Table Filename Type, and Weights Filename Type.

• Converted to: Integer Value Type, Non Negative Integer Value Type, Positive Integer Value Type, Name Type, Tuple Type, Index Or Name Type, Generic Filename Type, Map Filename Type, Table Filename Type, Lookup Table Filename Type, and Weights Filename Type. Real Value Type — can fail; only succeeds if the value actually holds a Real. String Type — can fail; only succeeds if the value actually holds a String.
