keytype
keytype(type)
Get the key type of an associative collection type. Behaves similarly to eltype.
Examples
julia> keytype(Dict{String, Int})
StringThis example demonstrates the usage of keytype to retrieve the key type of a Dict associative collection type. The keytype function returns the key type of the collection.
julia> keytype(Set{Float64})
Float64In this example, keytype is used to obtain the key type of a Set collection, which is Float64.
julia> keytype(Tuple{Symbol, Int})
SymbolHere, keytype is applied to a Tuple collection type, and it returns the key type as Symbol.
Common mistake example:
julia> keytype(Vector{Int})
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching keytype(::Type{Array{Int64,1}})In this example, keytype is mistakenly used on an array type, which results in an error. keytype is specifically used for associative collections and not arrays.
