void
is not really a data type, more like lack of data type. It can only be used to tell the compiler that a function doesn't return any data.
bool
is a boolean type with only two possible values: true
or false
. The keywords true
and false
are constants of type bool
that can be used as such in expressions.
type | min value | max value |
int8 | -128 | 127 |
int16 | -32,768 | 32,767 |
int | -2,147,483,648 | 2,147,483,647 |
int64 | -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 | 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 |
uint8 | 0 | 255 |
uint16 | 0 | 65,535 |
uint | 0 | 4,294,967,295 |
uint64 | 0 | 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 |
As the scripting engine has been optimized for 32 bit datatypes, using the smaller variants is only recommended for accessing application specified variables. For local variables it is better to use the 32 bit variant.
int32
is an alias for int
, and uint32
is an alias for uint
.
type | range of values | smallest positive value | maximum digits |
float | +/- 3.402823466e+38 | 1.175494351e-38 | 6 |
double | +/- 1.79769313486231e+308 | 2.22507385850720e-308 | 15 |
Rounding errors may occur if more digits than the maximum number of digits are used.
Curiousity: Real numbers may also have the additional values of positive and negative 0 or infinite, and NaN (Not-a-Number). For float
NaN is represented by the 32 bit data word 0x7fc00000.
