Numbers and Strings

Numbers

All numbers are floating point internally (C double). You can use them like integers:

x = 42
y = 3.14
z = -7

String literals use double quotes:

greeting = "hello"

You can concatenate strings with +:

a = "hello "
b = "world"
c = a + b
write(c)

If you add a string to a number, the number is converted to a string first:

x = "score: " + 42
write(x)

Get the length of a string with len@string:

name = "alice"
len = len@string("hello")
write(name, "has", len, "characters")

You can write math expressions directly:

result = 3.14 * 2
write(result)

r = 0.5
write(r)

Use stringify and intify to convert between types explicitly.

stringify converts a variable to its string representation:

x = 42
stringify x

intify converts a variable to a number. If the string is not numeric, it produces an error:

x = "42"
intify x
x = x + 5
write(x)

x = "hello"
intify x

intify can also format a string as binary, hex, or octal byte representation:

x = "hello"
intify x binary
intify x hex
intify x octal

toggle toggles a variable between number and string. If its a number, it becomes a string. If its a string, it becomes a number:

x = 42
stringify x     : now "42"
toggle x        : back to 42
toggle x        : back to "42"
toggle x        : back to 42
