Function Documentation

getValue()

pscfpp.param.getValue

(

v

)

Distinguish the type of a value from its string representation.

This function infers the type of a variable from its string representation and returns a value of the appropriate type, which may be an int, float or string. Any input string that can be interpreted as an integer is converted into the resulting int value. Any string that can be interpreted as a real number but not as an integer is converted into a float value. All other strings are left un-interpreted and returned verbatim as string values.

Parameters

v	a string representation of a parameter value
