What is the correct way to pass only a type to control dispatch and use that type inside the function? As the title says, I want to do something like: f(::T) where T = zero(T) Is this one? julia> f(T::DataType) = zero(T) f (generic function with 2 methods) julia> f(Float64) 0.0 edit: that doe…

f(::Type{T}) where {T} = zero(T)

Correct way of: f(::T) where T = zero(T)?
