Derived Types

Internet object specifies the following number derived types and also provides built-in support for them.

The Number and Its Derived Types

The following snippet represents a number and its derived types.

# Number and its derived types
{ applicationNo: int, 
  rollNo: int32, 
  totalScore: int16,
  percentage: number,
   paperCode: byte
 }
---
{ 
8754489612, 
  125447,   
  566,      
  94.33,    
  48        
}

Here the applicationNo is of integer type and will only accept integers. Similarly, rollNo, totalScore, percentage and paperCode are of different types such as int32, int16, number, and byte. Therefore they will only accept values with the defined types for the respective variable.
