<h1>Yorick Language Reference</h1>
<h2>Array Data Types</h2>
<p>The basic data types are:
</p>
<p> <tt>char </tt> one 8-bit byte, from 0 to 255
<br><tt>short </tt> compact integer, at least 2 bytes
<br><tt>int </tt> <b>logical results</b>- 0 false, 1 true, at least 2 bytes
<br><tt>long </tt> <b>default integer</b>- at least 4 bytes
<br><tt>float </tt> at least 5 digits, 10<sup><font face="symbol">±</font>38</sup>
<br><tt>double </tt> <b>default real</b>- 14 or 15 digits, usually 10<sup><font face="symbol">±</font>308</sup>
<br><tt>complex </tt> <b>re</b> and <b>im</b> parts are double
<br><tt>string </tt> 0-terminated text string
<br><tt>pointer </tt> pointer to an array
</p>
<p>A compound data type <i>compound_type</i> can be built from any combination
of basic or previously defined data types as follows:
</p>
<p><tt>struct</tt> <i>compound_type</i> <tt>{<br>
</tt><i>type_name_A memb_name_1</i> <tt>;<br>
</tt><i>type_name_B memb_name_2(dimlist)</i> <tt>;<br>
</tt><i>type_name_C memb_name_3,memb_name_4(dimlist)</i><tt>;<br>
...<br>}</tt>
</p>
<p>A <i>dimlist</i> is a comma delimited list of dimension lengths, or lists
in the format returned by the <tt>dimsof</tt> function, or ranges of the
form <tt> min_index:max_index</tt>. (By default, <tt> min_index</tt> is 1.)
</p>
<p>For example, the <tt>complex</tt> data type is predefined as:
<tt> struct complex { double re, im; }</tt>
</p>
