type a

In programming languages, a type system is a logical system comprising a set of rules that assigns a property called a type to the various constructs of a computer program, such as variables, expressions, functions or modules. These types formalize and enforce the otherwise implicit categories the programmer uses for algebraic data types, data structures, or other components (e.g. "string", "array of float", "function returning boolean"). The main purpose of a type system is to reduce possibilities for bugs in computer programs by defining interfaces between different parts of a computer program, and then checking that the parts have been connected in a consistent way. This checking can happen statically (at compile time), dynamically (at run time), or as a combination of both. Type systems have other purposes as well, such as expressing business rules, enabling certain compiler optimizations, allowing for multiple dispatch, providing a form of documentation, etc.
A type system associates a type with each computed value and, by examining the flow of these values, attempts to ensure or prove that no type errors can occur. The given type system in question determines what constitutes a type error, but in general, the aim is to prevent operations expecting a certain kind of value from being used with values for which that operation does not make sense (validity errors). Type systems are often specified as part of programming languages and built into interpreters and compilers, although the type system of a language can be extended by optional tools that perform added checks using the language's original type syntax and grammar.

    Disassembling type A brass drain off cock - query

    I have two type A docs under my sink, both have a knurled outer ring end under the square valve. Does this have to be removed when replacing a washer? If so, how is it removed and what tool? I don't want to force an already leading doc. Many thanks for any advice.

    Compression Type A drain off and female 15mm coupler - Plumb Center

    I bought a compression (threaded) Type A drain off and female 15mm coupler from my local Plumb Center. The thread on the drain off is longer than the female coupler fitting so some of the thread shows when screwed fully on. Is this normal?
