- "constant" if object is a real or complex constant matrix
- "polynomial" if object is a polynomial matrix
- "function" if object is a function
- "handle" if object is an handle
- "string" if object is a matrix made of character strings
- "boolean" if object is a boolean matrix
- "list" if object is a list
- "rational" if object is a rational matrix (transfer matrix)
- "state-space" if object is a state-space model (see `syslin`)
- "sparse" if object is a (real) sparse matrix.
- "boolean sparse" if object is a boolean sparse matrix.
- if object is a tlist or mlist, t is the first string in the first list entry.

### Exemples

    typeof(1)
    typeof(poly(0,'x'))

    typeof(1/poly(0,'x'))
    typeof(%t)

    w=sprand(100,100,0.001);
    typeof(w)
    typeof(w==w)

    deff('y=f(x)','y=2*x');
    typeof(f)

    L=tlist(['V','a','b'],18,'Scilab');
    typeof(L)
