Check if a variable is a number of wave object in OCEAN/SKIL

[Lior Dagan]

Hello, in OCEAN, one can define outputs which can be both scalars and wave objects. In Ruby/PERL, it is very easy to know what type of object is a variable. Can one do a similar, if less generic check for that? I.e., get if a variable is a wave object, scalar, or nil.
Thanks,

Lior,

In general, you can use type(val) and it will tell you the type. With
waveform objects, they return "other" though. Another way is to use
className(classOf(val)) .

Or you can use the appropriate predicate functions, such as
drIsWaveform(), famIsFamily(), fixp(), floatp(), numberp() etc.
