Primitive Types

BlueScript provides six primitive types as well as object types:

• integer (30-bit integer)
• int32 (32-bit integer)
• number (an alias of integer)
• float (30bit floating-point number)
• string
• boolean
• null and undefined (they are the same)
• any

Any kind of value can be implicitly converted into the any type, and vice versa.

• Before being converted into the any type, an integer value may be stored as a 32-bit integer.
• An int32 value is always stored as a 32-bit integer. It is never converted into the any type.
• Before being converted into the any type, an float value may be stored as a 32-bit floating-point number. After being converted into the any type, it is stored as a 30-bit floating-point number, where only 6 bits are allocated for an exponent instead of 8 bits.
• For logical operations and the condition expressions of coditional/loop statements such as if and while, 0, 0.0, false, null, and undefined are considered as false while other values are true.
