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:

32-bits signed integer:
```
---
type: int32
```
single precision floating-point number:
```
---
type: float32
```
