The string type is used for textual characters. There is no type for representing just one character. A string is a series of zero or more characters. You delimit string constants using either a double-quote ” or a single-quote ‘.
myvar = "This is a string" myvar = 'so is this'
Numeric types in Lianja are all stored as floating point numbers with zero or more decimal places.
myvar = 10 myvar = 10.5678
You can also define hexadecimal numeric constants.
myvar = 0x0a
Date constants are delimited by curly braces.
// set myvar to 10th of october 2009
myvar = {10/10/2009}
Logical (boolean) constants have one of two values, true or false. The result of any logical comparison expression results in a logical type.
myvar = true
myvar2 = false
if myvar or myvar2
// this will be executed as myvar is true
endif
Currency constants are preceeded by a $.
// set myvar to 1000 dollars myvar = $1000
Datetime constants are delimited by curly braces.
// set myvar to 10th of october 2009 at 8.30am
myvar = {10/10/2009 08:30}

Variables each have a type determined by the data they contain. You can initialize variables by assigning constants into them. Constants each have a primitive type and are the building blocks for all data in Lianja
