A new type character recognizes single-character strings.

type( "a", 'character' );

$\mathrm{true}$

type( "abc", 'character' );

$\mathrm{false}$

The new types std and stdlib allow you to identify procedures, packages, and other modules that are part of the standard library shipped with your Maple installation. The type stdlib applies to objects saved in the library, while type std also includes the built-in (kernel) procedures.

type( 'sin', 'stdlib' );

$\mathrm{true}$

type( 'sin', 'std' );

$\mathrm{true}$

type( 'op', 'stdlib' );

$\mathrm{false}$

type( 'op', 'std' );

$\mathrm{true}$

p := proc( x, y ) 2 * x - y end proc:

type( 'p', 'stdlib' );

$\mathrm{false}$

type( 'p', 'std' );

$\mathrm{false}$

The new verification verify/range compares ranges.

verify({1..2,3.00000002..4.00000001}, {3..4,1..2}, set(range(float(100))));

$\mathrm{true}$
