Julia : 类型别名

类型别名，还是很重要的，有时可以更方便表达数据结构。比如 ：

data_fetch::Dict{String,Dict{Tuple{Int64,String},Array{String,1}}}

如果能够简化一点的话，会更方便一些,如下：

data_fetch::Dict{String,Dict{MyDataType,Array{String,1}}}

在很多语言中，有都很方便的类型别名，Julia也有，但用法有一点不一样。直接上const，而不是type .

julia> const AB = Array{String,1}
Array{String,1}

julia> AB[]
Array{String,1}[]

Julia的const之前，不能覆盖。必须此前没有赋过值。

julia> CC =0
0

julia> const CC = Tuple{String,String}
ERROR: cannot declare CC constant; it already has a value
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at REPL[48]:1

julia> const DD = Tuple{String,String}
Tuple{String,String}

julia> const EE = Dict{String,String}
Dict{String,String}

julia> EE()
Dict{String,String}()

julia> import CSV: read as rd
julia> import BenchmarkTools as BT

as works with using only when a single identifier is brought into scope. For example using CSV: read as rd works, but using CSV as C does not, since it operates on all of the exported names in CSV.

using CSV: read as rd #ok
using CSV as C #error
