Class Unit

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<Unit>, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.List

    public class Unit
    extends java.util.AbstractList
    implements java.lang.Comparable<Unit>
    A placeholder value for the "unit" type.

    We sometimes use it as a dummy value when we need to add a variable (and its type) to the compilation environment but we don't have a value (because it's not a runtime environment).
