Nim Data Types
Nim Data Types
Nim data types include int string and bool with type inference.
Introduction to Nim Data Types
Nim is a statically typed programming language that supports a variety of data types, including int, string, and bool. These types allow developers to store and manipulate data efficiently. One of Nim's key features is its type inference capability, which reduces the need for explicit type declarations.
Integer Type in Nim
In Nim, integers are represented by the int type, which is used for numerical operations. The size of an integer is platform-dependent, typically 32 or 64 bits.
String Type in Nim
Strings in Nim are sequences of characters, defined using the string type. Strings support various operations such as concatenation and slicing.
Boolean Type in Nim
The bool type in Nim is used to represent truth values: true and false. Boolean values are commonly used in conditional statements and loops.
Type Inference in Nim
Nim's type inference allows the compiler to deduce the type of a variable based on the value assigned to it. This feature simplifies code writing and improves readability while maintaining the benefits of static typing.
