Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The test folder has some code that illustrates how to write test scripts and use the Base.Test system."

A block of code is set as follows:

function isAdmin2(_mc::Dict{ASCIIString,UserCreds}, _name::ASCIIString)
    check_admin::Bool = false;
    try
        check_admin = _mc[_name].admin
    catch
        check_admin = false
    finally
        return check_admin
   end
end

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

julia> include("asian.jl") ...
