Primitives

Whamm offers a small set of primitive types that are useful for performing arithmetic and representing data.

Booleans

With only two values, true, and false, booleans are represented in Whamm with the type bool.

var x: bool; // default == false
x = true;
x = false;

Right now, Whamm supports the following types:

type	bits	description	min	max
`u8`	8	unsigned values	`0`	`255` (equal to `2^8 - 1`)
`i8`	8	signed values	`-128` (equal to `-2^7`)	`127` (equal to `2^7 - 1`)
`u16`	16	unsigned values	`0`	`65_535` (equal to `2^16 - 1`)
`i16`	16	signed values	`-32_768` (equal to `-2^15`)	`32_767` (equal to `2^15 - 1`)
`u32`	32	unsigned values	`0`	`4_294_967_295` (equal to `2^32 - 1`)
`i32`	32	signed values	`-2_147_483_648` (equal to `-2^31`)	`2_147_483_647` (equal to `2^31 - 1`)
`f32`	32	floating point values	`-3.40282347E+38`	`3.40282347E+38`
`u64`	64	unsigned values	`0`	`4_294_967_295` (equal to `2^32 - 1`)
`i64`	64	signed values	`-2_147_483_648` (equal to `-2^31`)	`18_446_744_073_709_551_615` (equal to `2^63 - 1`)
`f64`	64	floating point values	`-1.7976931348623157E+308`	`1.7976931348623157E+308`

// with declared types
var d: i32; // default == 0
d = 0;
d = 9993;
d = -42;
