Abstract
A device receives, in a technical computing environment (TCE), a first variable with a first data type and a particular number of rows, and receives a second variable with a second data type and the particular number of rows. The second data type may be different than the first data type. The device receives a command to create a table based on the first variable and the second variable, and creates, based on the command, a heterogeneous table that includes the first variable and the second variable. The device stores the heterogeneous table, and/or provides the heterogeneous table for display.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, in a technical computing environment (TCE), a first variable with a first data type and a particular number of rows,
- the receiving first variable being performed by a device;
- receiving a second variable with a second data type and the particular number of rows,
- the second data type being different than the first data type, and
- the receiving the second variable being performed by the device;
- receiving a command to create a table based on the first variable and the second variable,
- the receiving the command being performed by the device;
- creating, based on the command, a heterogeneous table that includes the first variable and the second variable,
- the creating the heterogeneous table being performed by the device;
- and
- storing the heterogeneous table,
- the storing the heterogeneous table being performed by the device.
A computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:
- receive, in a technical computing environment (TCE), a first variable with a first data type and a particular number of rows,
- receive a second variable with a second data type and the particular number of rows,
- the second data type being different than the first data type,
- receive a command to create a table based on the first variable and the second variable,
- create, based on the command, a heterogeneous table that includes the first variable and the second variable, and
- store the heterogeneous table.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- receive, in a technical computing environment (TCE), a first variable with a first data type and a particular number of rows,
- receive a second variable with a second data type and the particular number of rows,
- the second data type being different than the first data type,
- receive a command to create a table based on the first variable and the second variable,
- create, based on the command, a heterogeneous table that includes the first variable and the second variable,
- store the heterogeneous table, and
- provide the heterogeneous table for display.
