Variables and Constants

Variables

To initiate a variable you simply use the <var> tag.

<var myVariable=10/>

This will initiate an integer with the value 10.

C-code:

int myVariable = 10;

Types

Variables have types, by using the type attribute you can define what type the variable should be.

<var myVariable="47884" type="unsigned int" />

C-code:

unsigned int myVariable = 47884;

If you do not provide a type attribute, the compiler will try to guess what type you meant.

<var myVariable=10/>

Will be seen as int, because 10 is not wrapped in quotes.

<var myVariable='b'/>

Will be seen as char, because 'b' is wrapped in single quotes.

<var myVariable="hello mario"/>

Will be seen as string (char*), because "hello mario" is wrapped in double quotes.

If the compiler cannot guess the variable type, it will say your code sucks and then you need to provide a type attribute.

Constants

Constants are like variables but instead of being variable, constants are constant, you cannot change them. To create a constant you use a <const> tag, which works exactly the same as the <var> tag.

<const myConstant=10/>

C-code

static const myConstant = 10;
