Data Type

Overview

Platform supports common standard data types, Arrays and also support Struct ,Map data type.

Map — A Map has a KeyType and a ValueType. And it can contain a variable number of such Key, Value pairs. For example: map[str, float].

Struct - A Struct has specific fields and FieldTypes for each field, with key-value pairs separated by a colon : and pairs separated by commas. For example: struct[transaction_amt: float, transaction_dt: datetime, id: str]

Defining Data types

A data type is used while creating the object.

User can enter the following types in the data type input box.

Common standard data types :

• Numerical

• String

• DateTime

• Boolean

Arrays Types:

• Array[Numerical]

• Array[String]

• Array[DateTime]

• Array[Boolean]

Struct Type :

• Struct[decision: String, ranking: Numerical]

• Struct[amt: Array[Numerical], flag: Boolean]

• Struct[info: Map[Numerical,String],details: Struct[id: String,date: DateTime,age: Numerical]].. etc.

Map:

• Map[Numerical, String]

• Map[String, Numerical]

• Map[Numerical, Array[Boolean]].. etc.
