Typings
Typings can optionally be used to improve the strictness of code. The types listed in the table below can be used.
| Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| number | number id = 1 | A numeric value |
| string | string language = 'Syntek' | A string |
| boolean | boolean enabled = false | A boolean |
| array | number[] numbers = [1, 2, 3] | An array of a type |
| object | object obj = {} | An object |
| any | any num = 1 | Any type |
Updating variables
When a variable is declared with any type other than any it can't be changed to a different type. The following code would throw an error.
number x = 5
x = 'my string'
When a variable is declared without a type changing it will work without any errors. The following code would not throw an error.
x = 5
x = 'my string'
