module_name

module_name(m::Module) -> Symbol

Get the name of a Module as a Symbol.

Examples

julia> module_name(Main)
Symbol("Main")

julia> module_name(Base)
Symbol("Base")

This function returns the name of a Module as a Symbol. Here are a few examples of how it can be used:

1. Get the name of the current module:

   julia> module_name(Main)
   Symbol("Main")

   This example retrieves the name of the current module, which is Main.

2. Get the name of a specific module:

   julia> module_name(Base)
   Symbol("Base")

   It retrieves the name of the Base module, which is a built-in module in Julia.

3. Store module name in a variable:

   julia> module = Main;
   julia> name = module_name(module);
   julia> name
   Symbol("Main")

   This example demonstrates storing the module name in a variable for later use.

Common mistake example:

julia> module_name(1)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching module_name(::Int64)

In this example, the function module_name is called with an argument of type Int64, which is not a valid module. Ensure that the argument passed to module_name is a valid module object.
