Example: Boolean
Code Output
y = false
print(y, type(y))
false boolean
Example: String and number
Code Output
x = "123"
print(x, type(x))
x = x + 7
print(x, type(x))
123 string
Adding a number to x forces its type to number
1.302 number
Example: Function
Code Output
function add_two(parameter1, parameter2)
return para parameter2
end
print(add_two(3, 4), type(add_two))
