Data types

All built-in data types in Cambo.

Cambo features a static and strong typing system, in which all types are resolved and verified at compile time. At the same time, variables are bound to specific types, meaning that any operation that violates type constraints is rejected and explicit casting between different types is required.

Primitive data types

Here is a table of all primitive data types.

UTF-8 character	`char`	8 bits	[U+0000, U+007F]
UTF-16 character	`char16`	16 bits	[U+0000, U+FFFF]
UTF-32 character	`char32`	32 bits	[U+0000, U+10FFFF]
boolean	`bool`	8 bits	{false, true}
void	`void`	void	void
