BBj Data Types

Description

BBj data falls into the following three general categories:

• Numeric data includes numeric literals (12.95, 200), numeric and integer variables (X, I%), numeric expressions (LEN(X$), A*B), and Java primitives (boolean, byte, char, short, int, long, float, and double).

• String data includes string literals ("Hello, world"), mnemonics ('GREEN'), string variables (X$), string expressions (A$+B$, STR(N:M$)), and Java strings.

• Object data includes all other values that do not evaluate to a number or string. Objects are returned from Java calls or BBj object functions.
