## Numeric literals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Decimal: `1`, `10`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Binary: `%0101`, `0b101001`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hexadecimal: `$D323`, `0x2a2`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## String literals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
String literals are surrounded with double quotes and followed by the name of the encoding:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"this is a string" ascii
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Characters between the quotes are interpreted literally,
|
|
|
|
|
|
there are no ways to escape special characters or quotes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently available encodings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `ascii` – standard ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `pet` or `petscii` – PETSCII (ASCII-like character set used by Commodore machines)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `scr` – Commodore screencodes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When programming for Commodore,
|
|
|
|
|
|
use `pet` for strings you're printing using standard I/O routines
|
|
|
|
|
|
and `scr` for strings you're copying to screen memory directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Array initialisers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An array is initialized with either a string literal,
|
|
|
|
|
|
or a list of byte literals and strings, surrounded by brackets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
array a = [1, 2]
|
|
|
|
|
|
array b = "----" scr
|
|
|
|
|
|
array c = ["hello world!" ascii, 13]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trailing commas (`[1, 2,]`) are not allowed.
