Type syntax

Intergers

An interger is a whole number.
Intergers can be positive or negative.

do say (100) // 100

Intergers literals are by default long, but when they overflow they become ulong.

Floats

A float is a decimal number.
Floats can be positive or negative.

do say (1.5) // 1.5
do say (1.5F) // 1.5 (float form)

Float literals are by default double, but can be specified with an F to become a float.

Booleans

A boolean is a value that can be either true or false.

do say (true) // true
do say (false) // false

Characters and strings

A character is a single ascii character.
A string is a sequence of characters.

do say ('a') // a
do say ("Hello World") // Hello World

Characters are surrounded by single quotes.
Which means you can't have more then 1 character in single quotes (unless escaped by \).
Strings are surrounded by double quotes.

do say ("Hello world!\n") // \n is converted to a new line character

You can also include new lines directly in strings.

do say ("Hello world!
This is a new line!")

Functions

Functions are first class citizens.
They can be assigned to variables, passed as arguments and returned from other functions.

define func() {
    do say ("Hello world")
}

do func() // Hello world
make other_func = func
do other_func() // Hello world
