Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

In computer programming, especially functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type is a kind of composite type, i. e., a type formed by combining other types.

OBS

Two common classes of algebraic types are product types (i.e., tuples and records) and sum types (i.e., tagged or disjoint unions or variant types).

OBS

Not to be confused with "abstract data type."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Le type algébrique [de données] est une forme de […] données composite, qui combine les fonctionnalités des types produits (n‐uplets ou enregistrements) et des types sommes (union disjointe). Combinée à la récursivité, [le type algébrique] permet d'exprimer les données structurées, telles que les listes et les arbres.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec «type de données abstrait».
