PureBasic Forums - English

There doesn't seem to be anything in the help files on constants. There some info under enumeration but no section or anything under types.

Perhaps I just missed it?

I was trying to track down if they were longs or not or if you can have floats or 16bit ints? Or if there are just longs and strings?

Thanks

They can be integer (from byte to quad), float (up to double) or string.

How do you type them?

One more for the docs

I know theres a way to have put hex in source code (in VB it's &h100) but I can't never remember in PB $, #, % or something prefixed

Could that go in the docs too as I can't find it there

Thanks

You don't type a constant, you just put something in it.

The prefix is described under "General Rules"
