It is not a literal representation, as <a href="toliteral.html"><code>toliteral()</code></a> does, but insteads is more succinct. For instance, with complex data types such as lists, the returned representation is simply <code>"[list]"</code>. Less complex data types such as integers will still return the correct integer value. <p><hr size=4><p align=center><i>Last Modified on Mar 2 1996</i> <br><i>Copyright © 1995, 1996, Brandon Gillespie</i> </body>
