Primitive Types

BlueScript provides six primitive types as well as object types:

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

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

• When an integer value is converted, the resulting value is represented as a 30bit integer.
• When a float value is converted, the resulting value is represented as a 30bit 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.
