Learn: Basic Data Types

Evy has three basic data types: string, num, and bool.

• string: strings are sequences of characters enclosed in quotation marks, such as "Hello World!".
• num: numbers can be positive, negative, or have decimal points, such as 123.45 or -6.
• bool: booleans can only be true or false.

Here are some examples of valid and invalid values for each data type:

Type	✅ Valid values	❌ Invalid values
string	"abc", "1", ""	'abc', abc, "abc, "ab"c"
num	123.45, -6, 0.2	+2, .2, "2", 1,000.3, 1 000
bool	true, false	"true"

Printing Different Data Types

The print function can print all basic data types. For example, the following code will print the string "abc", the number 123, and the boolean value true:

print "abc" 123 true

This will print the following output:

abc 123 true

👉 Note: We cannot always determine the data type of a value by its output alone. For example, the following code will print 1 1 true true:

print "1" 1 "true" true

However, the data types are actually:

• "1": string
• 1: num
• "true": string
• true: bool
