Variables

Variables are declared with the ‘var’ keyword.

var someNumber = 12

Multiple variables can be declared at once.

var a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Alternatively variables can be declared with the variable declaration operator. This is the preferred method and is what I will use on this site, but you do you.

x := 12

Constants are declared with the ‘const’ keyword.

const someNumber = 12
const a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Alternatively constants can be declared with the constant declaration operator.

x ::= 12

Data types

Type	Example	Note
String	'foo', "bar"	You can use single or double quotes to represent strings in Ilex.
Number	12, 12.5	Numbers with or without decimals.
Bool	true, false	Can be true or false. Shocking.
Array	[1, 2, 'yo', true, null]	Arrays can contain any data type or combination of data types.
Null	null	No value.

Ilex will be statically typed at some point and this page will be updated to reflect that.
