[long lynx]

a number data type

thingy

[rare minnow]

internally it's there to indicate that... something is a number. E.g. 2 / 2 = 1, yet 2 / "banana" = error

I dont understand what you're talking about, and I don't speak English 😭

Just strings, methods and booleans

im deleting this post

[rare minnow]

it's to help with math operators and some storage stuff. No need to fully understand it other than "a number is a number"

[long lynx]

oh

[rare minnow]

hell this language doesn't even differentiate between a float and an int, this should be as easy as pie

[long lynx]

ok

👍

[rare minnow]

...

[long lynx]

what

[rare minnow]

I already said what I just said...

[long lynx]

ok

[safe tinsel]

1 / 2 = 0.500000001 lmaoo

[rare minnow]

you can even have programs where

num * 2 -> type error
num * 2.0 -> runs perfectly

(on a different line that is, most languages do allow ints to easily transfer to floats by using a simple * operator)

[safe tinsel]

I dont understand

[solar bough]

floating points

[steep moss]

** You are now Level 14! **

[solar bough]

computers dont understand numbers xd

[safe tinsel]

If you add .0

like

1 / 2.0 = 0.5 not 0.50000001 ?

ohh okay

nvm

I'd mistranslated
