List of types
-------------

Primitive types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. type:: Boolean

   This represents a `boolean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type>`_ type, which essentially means:
   Values of this type can only have two values: *true* and *false*.
   This makes it well-suited for `logical operations <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective>`_.

.. type:: Double

   This represents decimal (*floating point* [#float64]_) numbers.
   For most purposes, operations with them behave exactly like they would on a calculator.
   All numbers with a decimal point that you write in GP Script are interpreted as `Double`.

.. type:: Integer

   This type represents *integers*.
   Because of that, some operations behave differently as when performed with `Double`.
   For example, the result of ``3 / 2`` is not *1.5* as this would not be an integer but a decimal number.
   Instead, the decimal part is cut off and the result is actually *1*.
   All numbers without a decimal point that you write in GP Script are interpreted as `Integer`.

.. type:: Int

   Just an alias for `Integer`.
   You can use both terms interchangeably, but this documentation will be sticking to `Integer` in every code sample.
