This module helps in finding the type of an argument passed with some basic information. It also helps with more info like emptiness

Summary

Functions

type_info(arg)

Returns the map with some basic information of an argument passed for an example empty list or empty map etc

typeof(arg)

Returns a string representation of the type of a passed argument

Functions

type_info(arg)

type_info(any) :: map

Returns the map with some basic information of an argument passed for an example empty list or empty map etc..
