Convert From an AD Type to its Base Type

Syntax
b = Value(x)

See Also
var2par

Purpose
Converts from an AD type to the corresponding base type .

x
The argument x has prototype
     const AD<
Base> &x

b
The return value b has prototype
     
Base b

Operation Sequence
The result of this operation is not an AD of Base object. Thus it will not be recorded as part of an AD of Base operation sequence .

Restriction
If the argument x is a variable its dependency information would not be included in the Value result (see above). For this reason, the argument x must be a parameter ; i.e., it cannot depend on the current independent variables .

Example
The file value.cpp contains an example and test of this operation.
