Data Types

AzLang provides a focused set of primitive and composite types that map directly to hardware registers and low-level data layouts.

1. Numeric Types

Type	Description	Machine Mapping
`int`	Standard signed integer	32-bit / 64-bit machine word
`natural`	Unsigned non-negative integer	Unsigned machine word
`bigint`	Large 64-bit integer	64-bit register
`tinyint`	Small 8-bit / 16-bit integer	Byte / Half-word
`float`	Floating-point number	Single / Double IEEE-754

const int count = 42
const bigint big_offset = 1000000000
const float ratio = 0.75

char: A single character literal ('a').
str: String representation. Depending on declaration, string literals are handled either as static immutable string slices (stored in data sections) or dynamic strings:

const str greeting = "Hello, world!"
const char initial = 'A'

AzLang also supports template strings (string interpolation) with backticks:

const str name = "AzLang"
const str msg = `Welcome to ${name}`

bool: Represents true or false.
void: Represents an empty or absent return value from an operation.
any: Universal type placeholder for dynamic dispatch or heterogeneous buffers.

const list<int> numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
