Type can be a string, array, hash, float, integer, or boolean. *Type*: rvalue +* `type3x`: Returns a string description of the type when passed a value. Type can be a string, array, hash, float, integer, or boolean. This function will be removed when puppet 3 support is dropped and the new type system may be used. *Type*: rvalue + +* `type_of`: Returns the literal type when passed a value. Requires the new + parser. Useful for comparison of types with `<=` such as in `if + type_of($some_value) <= Array[String] { ... }` (which is equivalent to `if + $some_value =~ Array[String] { ... }`) *Type*: rvalue * `union`: This function returns a union of two arrays. For example, `union(["a","b","c"],["b","c","d"])` returns ["a","b","c","d"]. |
