My initial objective was to create parametric function with struct i.e., function that allow calling like f{T}(x) but julia doesn’t allow parametric function without struct. I want this syntax compare to f(x, ::Type{T}) because i will be calling function into 2 step first will return f{T} and second will call result of first with some val like (getF(T))(x) .
So, I have created singleton struct and then defined the function (outside constructor). But these function return different type the struct. Will these create any problem? My test shows code working properly
const tolRational = 1//100
struct ParseRational{T<:Integer} <: Real end
ParseRational(x::N) where {N <: Real} = rationalize(x, tol=tolRational)
ParseRational{T}(x::N) where {T <: Integer, N <: Real} = rationalize(T, x, tol=tolRational)
# Defining get function
getParser(::Type{Rational{T}}) where {T <: Integer} = ParseRational{T}
# call function
getParser(Rational{Int64})(0.1)
