How to determine type and definition of a variable in Monkey C?

I've noticed that some object variables will change their types and it can cause exceptions. Is there a way to test the variable type?

For example I've seen one variable go through a variety of types:

x=null

x=[null, null]

x=[float, float]

I'd like to be able to test for these cases. How is this typically done?

Thanks.

instanceof

for example:

if(x instanceof Array) {

}

in your specific case:

if(x!=null) {

if(x[0]==null) {

//x=[null,whatever]

} else {

//x=[non null,whatever]

}

} else {

//x=null

}

in a simple example

Thanks and I also just found your example to determine the type, which is tedious in Monkey C but it works. forums.garmin.com/.../how-to-find-a-type-of-a-variable

Actually, that's code from Travis (he's one of the Garmin folks), but it looks like the forum was having an issue and I posted it.
