The '''data type''' of a [[Variables|variable]] specifies which data it may contain. Certain [[Operators|operators]] and [[:Category:Scripting Commands|scripting commands]] require variables to be of certain types.

== Definition ==
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"
The data type of a variable depends on the value given to it on [[Variables#Initialization|initialization]].
!
myVar = ""; {{cc|myVar is now a [[String]]}}
! colspan="7" | Introduced with {{ofp}}
 
! colspan="7" | Introduced with {{arma1}}
a local variable should be prefixed with '''[[private]]''' ({{arma3}}) or '''[[local]]''' ({{arma2}}) to avoid a potential upper-[[Variables#Scopes|scope]] variable overwrite:
! colspan="4" | Introduced with {{arma2}}
[[private]] _myLocalVariable = ""; {{cc|{{arma3}}}}
! colspan="6" | Introduced with {{arma3}}
[[local]] _myLocalVariable = ""; {{cc|{{arma2}}}}
 
== 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 = ""; {{cc|myVar is a [[String]]}}
myVar = 0; {{cc|myVar is now a [[Number]]}}

== Magic Types ==
There are some magic data types, which are not really datatypes, as they do not describe any particular value.
* [[:Category: Magic Types| Magic Types]]
== Syntactical Helper Types ==
Some more types are used to provide for a construction of syntactically richer constructs than normal unary / binary operators.
