| The '''data type''' of a [[Variables|variables]] specifies which data it may contain. Certain [[Operators|operators]] and [[:Category:Scripting Commands|scripting commands]] require variables to be of certain types.
| | #REDIRECT [[:Category: Data Types]] |
| | |
| == Definition ==
| |
| | |
| The data type of a variable depends on the value given to it on [[Variables#Initialization|initialization]].
| |
| | |
| myVar = "";
| |
|
| |
| => myVar is now a [[String]]
| |
| | |
| == Redefinition ==
| |
| | |
| The data type of a variable may be changed at any point of the game by just redefining the variable with another type.
| |
| | |
| myVar = "";
| |
|
| |
| myVar = 0;
| |
|
| |
| => myVar is now a [[Number]]

| |
| * [[Nothing]]
| |
| * [[Void]]
| |
| | |

| * [[While Type]]
| |
| * [[Switch Type]]
| |
| * [[For Type]]
