John Goerzen Biography & Facts
Type inference, sometimes called type reconstruction,: 320 refers to the automatic detection of the type of an expression in a formal language. These include programming languages and mathematical type systems, but also natural languages in some branches of computer science and linguistics. Nontechnical explanation Types in a most general view can be associated to a designated use suggesting and restricting the activities possible for an object of that type. Many nouns in language specify such uses. For instance, the word leash indicates a different use than the word line. Calling something a table indicates another designation than calling it firewood, though it might be materially the same thing. While their material properties make things usable for some purposes, they are also subject of particular designations. This is especially the case in abstract fields, namely mathematics and computer science, where the material is finally only bits or formulas. To exclude unwanted, but materially possible uses, the concept of types is defined and applied in many variations. In mathematics, Russell's paradox sparked early versions of type theory. In programming languages, typical examples are "type errors", e.g. ordering a computer to sum values that are not numbers. While materially possible, the result would no longer be meaningful and perhaps disastrous for the overall process. In a typing, an expression is opposed to a type. For example, 4 {\displaystyle 4} , 2 + 2 {\displaystyle 2+2} , and 2 ⋅ 2 {\displaystyle 2\cdot 2} are all separate terms with the type n a t {\displaystyle \mathrm {nat} } for natural numbers. Traditionally, the expression is followed by a colon and its type, such as 2 : n a t {\displaystyle 2:\mathrm {nat} } . This means that the value 2 {\displaystyle 2} is of type n a t {\displaystyle \mathrm {nat} } . This form is also used to declare new names, e.g. n : n a t {\displaystyle n:\mathrm {nat} } , much like introducing a new character to a scene by the words "detective Decker". Contrary to a story, where the designations slowly unfold, the objects in formal languages often have to be defined with their type from very beginning. Additionally, if the expressions are ambiguous, types may be needed to make the intended use explicit. For instance, the expression 2 {\displaystyle 2} might have a type n a t {\displaystyle \mathrm {nat} } but could also be read as a rational or real number or even as a plain text. As a consequence, programs or proofs can become so encumbered with types, that it is desirable to deduce them from the context. This can be possible by collecting the uses of untyped expression (including undefined names). If, for instance, a yet undefined name n is used in an expression n + 2 {\displaystyle n+2} , one could conclude, that n is at least a number. The process of deducing the type from an expression and its context is type inference. In general not only objects, but also activities have types and may be introduced simply by their use. For a Star Trek story, such an unknown activity could be "beaming", which for sake of the story's flow is just executed and never formally introduced. Nevertheless, one can deduce its type (transport) following what happens. Additionally, both objects and activities can be constructed from their parts. In such a setting, type inference cannot only become more complex, but also more helpful, as it allows to collect a complete description of everything in a composed scene, while still being able to detect conflicting or unintended uses. Type-checking vs. type-inference In a typing, an expression E is opposed to a type T, formally written as E : T. Usually a typing only makes sense within some context, which is omitted here. In this setting, the following questions are of particular interest: E : T? In this case, both an expression E and a type T are given. Now, is E really a T? This scenario is known as type-checking. E : _? Here, only the expression is known. If there is a way to derive a type for E, then we have accomplished type inference. _ : T? The other way round. Given only a type, is there any expression for it or does the type have no values? Is there any example of a T? This is known as type inhabitation. For the simply typed lambda calculus, all three questions are decidable. The situation is not as comfortable when more expressive types are allowed. Types in programming languages Types are a feature present in some strongly statically typed languages. It is often characteristic of functional programming languages in general. Some languages that include type inference include C23, C++11, C# (starting with version 3.0), Chapel, Clean, Crystal, D, F#, FreeBASIC, Go, Haskell, Java (starting with version 10), Julia, Kotlin, ML, Nim, OCaml, Opa, Q#, RPython, Rust, Scala, Swift, TypeScript, Vala, Dart, and Visual Basic (starting with version 9.0). The majority of them use a simple form of type inference; the Hindley–Milner type system can provide more complete type inference. The ability to infer types automatically makes many programming tasks easier, leaving the programmer free to omit type annotations while still permitting type checking. In some programming languages, all values have a data type explicitly declared at compile time, limiting the values a particular expression can take on at run-time. Increasingly, just-in-time compilation blurs the distinction between run time and compile time. However, historically, if the type of a value is known only at run-time, these languages are dynamically typed. In other languages, the type of an expression is known only at compile time; these languages are statically typed. In most statically typed languages, the input and output types of functions and local variables ordinarily must be explicitly provided by type annotations. For example, in ANSI C: The signature of this function definition, int add_one(int x), declares that add_one is a function that takes one argument, an integer, and returns an integer. int result; declares that the local variable result is an integer. In a hypothetical language supporting type inference, the code might be written like this instead: This is identical to how c.... Discover the John Goerzen popular books.
