Algebraic Data Types (Type Systems)

← Back to Advanced Type Features

Types built from sum types (tagged unions) and product types (structs/tuples). ADTs precisely model domain concepts by enumerating all possible shapes of data, enabling exhaustive pattern matching and eliminating invalid states by construction.

Key Properties

  • Sum Types (Tagged Unions)
  • Product Types (Structs-Tuples)
