type operation

Type operations are operations depending on the type of the first operand. Depending on the type of the first operand an operation for the given type is performed after converting the possible second operand into the format of the first operand.

• When the first operand is a numerical, bit, time, or date value, an arithmetical operation is performed.

• When the first operand is a text type, a string operation is performed.

• When the first operand is any type, the type operation returns an empty value in any case.

• When the first operand is an enumeration, an arithmetical operation is performed.

• When the first operand is a complex data type, a class type operation is performed.

• When the first operand is a collection, a set operation will be performed.
