A unit type is a mathematical
type that allows only one value (and thus can hold no information).The carrier (underlying set) associated with a unit type can be any
singleton set. There is an
isomorphism between any two such sets, so it is customary to talk about the unit type and ignore the details of its value. One may also regard the unit type as the type of 0-
tuples, i.e. the
product of no types.
