less(f::AbstractString, ?)
less(file::AbstractString, [line])
Show a file using the default pager, optionally providing a starting line number. Returns to the julia prompt when you quit the pager.
Examples
In the Julia programming language, the less(m::Method, ?) function is used to view the definition of a function using the default pager. It allows you to specify a tuple of types to indicate which method you want to see.
julia> less(rand, (Float64,))This example will display the definition of the rand function with the method that accepts Float64 as an argument.
julia> less(+, (Int64, Int64))This example will display the definition of the + function with the method that accepts two Int64 arguments.
Common mistake example:
julia> less(mean, (Array{Int64,1},))
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching mean(::Type{Array{Int64,1}})In this example, the mistake is providing a type Array{Int64,1} instead of an instance of the array to the mean function. Make sure to provide the correct arguments to the function to avoid such errors.
