Variables
Variable declarations are extremely simple. Simply pick a variable type and identifier, then set it to a value.
int x = 20;
important
You cannot defined a variable with no value, for example: int x; is not valid syntax. However, variables are treated as mutable, so to achieve the same effect just initialize the variable with dummy data.
Currently the supported types in KSL are:
| Type | Identifier | Size (Bits) |
|---|---|---|
| int8 | i8 | 8 |
| int16 | i16 | 16 |
| int32 | i32 | 32 |
| int64 | i64 || int | 64 |
| float32 | f32 | 32 |
| float | f64 || float | 64 |
| bool | bool | 1 |
| null | null | N|A |
| void | void | N|A |
note
KSL is designed for programmers of all skill levels. Some programmers might not care (or know) about int's of different sizes, so int and float are aliases for the largest supported int and float types. It makes it easier for beginners to understand and it's more readable for simple projects that don't need to worry about tight memory constraints.
