When using collect
, map
, vcat
etc..., on Array
s of mixed type (for example Int
and Float64
), the automatic eltype
promotion is to use promote_type
. So vcat(rand(3), rand(1:3, 3))
will return a Vector{Float64}
Is there a generic way to get a Union
instead, i.e. that vcat
returns an array of eltype
Union{Int, Float64}
?
Hm, I guess you could write things like
function union_vcat(x::AbstractArray{T}, y::AbstractArray{U}) where {T, U}
Union{T, U}[x; y]
end
and so on.
julia> union_vcat(rand(3), rand(1:3, 3))
6-element Vector{Union{Float64, Int64}}:
