Value #

Values are the built-in atomic object types that all other objects are composed of. They can be created through literals, expressions that evaluate to a value. All values are immutable—once created, they do not change. The number 3 is always the number 3. The string “frozen” can never have its character array modified in place.

Boolean Values #

They are just two values of boolean : tien and galon, they are instance of Tienya class.

Number Values #

Like other scripting languages, Mosc has a single numeric type: double-precision floating point. Number literals look like you expect coming from other languages:

0
29919
-21991
0.122911
-23411
0x123DEF
0b1110110001
0o217761

Numbers are instances of Diat class.

Strings #

A string is an array of bytes. Typically, they store characters encoded in UTF-8, but you can put any byte values in there, even zero or invalid UTF-8 sequences. (You might have some trouble printing the latter to your terminal, though.)

String literals are surrounded in double quotes:

"molo"
""

Strings can also span multiple lines. The newline character within the string will always be \n (\r\n is normalized to \n).

"
Aw
nin 
tié
"

Escaping #

A handful of escape characters are supported:

"\0" # The NUL byte: 0.
"\"" # A double quote character.
"\\" # A backslash.
"\%" # A percent sign.
"\a" # Alarm beep. (Who uses this?)
"\b" # Backspace.
"\e" # ESC character.
"\f" # Formfeed.
"\n" # Newline.
"\r" # Carriage return.
"\t" # Tab.
"\v" # Vertical tab.


"\x48"        # Unencoded byte     (2 hex digits)
"\u0041"      # Unicode code point (4 hex digits)
"\U0001F64A"  # Unicode code point (8 hex digits)

A \x followed by two hex digits specifies a single unencoded byte:

A.yira("\x48\x69\x2e") # gives Hi

A \u followed by four hex digits can be used to specify a Unicode code point:

A.yira("\u0041\u0b83\u00DE") # gives: AஃÞ

A capital \U followed by eight hex digits allows Unicode code points outside of the basic multilingual plane, like all-important emoji:

A.yira("\U0001F64A\U0001F680") # gives: 🙊🚀

Strings comes from Seben class.

Interpolation #

String literals also allow interpolation. If you have a dollar sign ($) followed by a block({}) expression or an identifier, the expression is evaluated. The resulting object’s sebenma method is called and the result is inserted in the string:

A.yira("Molo san ye ${12 + 3} ye")

Since the interpolation is block of expression you can have inside it a string that have also an interpolation.

Raw String #

You can also create a string using triple quotes """ , such strings are exactly the same as any other string, but are parsed differently.
