[julia-users] Suggestion for tuple types explanation in manual

2015-01-04 Thread ivo welch
I am reading again about the type system, esp in http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/types/ . I am a good guinea pig for a manual, because I don't know too much. a tuple is like function arguments without the functions. so, mytuple=(1,ab,(3,4),5) is a tuple. good. what can
