Data Types and Operators

EasyBite is a dynamically typed language. You don’t need to declare the type of a variable — it is inferred from the value assigned using the to keyword. The = operator is not supported.

Data Types

Data Type	Description	Example
Number	Whole or decimal numbers	10, -3.5, 0
String	Text enclosed in quotes	"Hello", 'World'
Boolean	Logical true or false	true, false
Null	Represents empty or undefined value	null
Array	Ordered list of values	declare arr[5] or arr[]
Dictionary	Key-value mappings	{ name: "Ali", age: 25 }
ByteArray	Raw byte sequences	bytearray("ABC")
Object	Instance of a class	new User()

Examples

declare name
set name to "Ali"

declare age
set age to 25

declare scores[]
set scores to [80, 90, 100]

declare person
set person to { name: "Ali", age: 25 }

declare binary
set binary to bytearray("ABC")

declare student
set student to new Student()

---

Assignment

Use declare to define a variable, and set or to to assign a value.

declare x
set x to 10

x to 20   // Reassign without `set`

declare arr[3]
set arr to [1, 2, 3]

declare user
set user to { name: "Fatima", age: 21 }

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Name	Description	Example	Result
+	Addition	Adds two numbers	5 + 3	8
-	Subtraction	Subtracts one number from another	10 - 4	6
*	Multiplication	Multiplies two numbers	4 * 2	8
/	Division	Divides one number by another	8 / 2	4
remind	Modulus	Returns remainder	7 remind 3	1
^	Power	Raises number to power	2 ^ 3	8

Examples

show(5 + 3)         // 8
show(10 - 4)        // 6
show(4 * 2)         // 8
show(8 / 2)         // 4
show(7 remind 3)    // 1
show(2 ^ 3)         // 8

Comparison Operators

Operator	Description	Example	Result
is / ==	Equal	5 is 5, 5 == 5	true
is not / !=	Not equal	3 is not 4, 3 != 4	true
>	Greater than	6 > 3	true
<	Less than	2 < 5	true
>=	Greater than or equal	5 >= 5	true
<=	Less than or equal	3 <= 4	true
is in	Exists inside a collection	"Ali" is in names	true

Examples

show(5 is 5)             // true
show(4 == 4)             // true
show(3 is not 4)         // true
show(6 != 5)             // true
show(9 > 2)              // true
show(2 < 5)              // true
show(10 >= 10)           // true
show(4 <= 7)             // true

declare names[]
set names to ["Ali", "Maryam", "Zainab"]
show("Ali" is in names)  // true

---

Logical Operators

Operator	Description	Example	Result
and	Logical AND	true and false	false
or	Logical OR	true or false	true
not	Logical NOT	not true	false

Examples

show(true and true)     // true
show(true and false)    // false
show(false or true)     // true
show(not false)         // true

---

Type Casting Operator

Operator	Description	Example	Result
as	Converts one type to another	"25" as number	25

Examples

declare x
set x to "123"

declare y
set y to x as number
show(y)     // 123

---

Ternary Operator

Ternary expressions allow inline conditional assignment using:

if condition then value1 else value2

Examples

declare age
set age to 17

declare status
set status to if age >= 18 then "Adult" else "Minor"
show(status)  // Output: Minor

---

Dictionary Access

declare user
set user to { name: "Maryam", role: "admin" }

show(user.name)        // Maryam
show(user["role"])     // admin

---

Full Combined Example

declare a
set a to 5 ^ 2
show(a)          // 25

declare b
set b to 10 remind 3
show(b)          // 1

show(7 == 7)          // true
show(5 != 3)          // true
show(6 > 2)           // true

declare passed
set passed to true and not false
show(passed)          // true

declare list[]
set list to ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
show("banana" is in list)  // true

declare score
set score to 75
declare grade
set grade to if score >= 70 then "Pass" else "Fail"
show(grade)         // Pass

declare s
set s to "456"
declare n
set n to s as number
show(n)             // 456

Notes

• Use declare and to for assignment.
• = is not supported.
• == and != are supported for equality.
• remind is used instead of %.
• ^ is used for exponentiation.
• Use as for type conversion.
• if ... then ... else is the ternary syntax.
