Primitive Types

Portex provides a set of primitive types:

boolean

The boolean type represents a binary value, only two values are supported: true and false

binary

The binary type represents a sequence of 8-bit unsigned binary.

string

The string type represents a sequence of UTF-8 encoded characters.

numeric types

There are four numeric types in Portex, they share the same parameters.

  • int32: 32-bit signed integer.

  • int64: 64-bit signed integer.

  • float32: single precision (32-bit) IEEE 754 floating-point number.

  • float64: double precision (64-bit) IEEE 754 floating-point number

Examples:

  1. 32-bits signed integer:

    ---
type: int32

  2. single precision floating-point number:

    ---
type: float32
