num(id: string, name: string) → number

bool(id: string, name: string) → boolean

exists(id: string?) → boolean

idOf(v: any) → string

writesValues(id: string) → boolean

True when the entity writes the driving contract's values (car.rpm or car.kmh/car.speed).

isVehicle(id: string) → boolean

isCar(id: string?) → boolean
