A string literal is delimited with the double hyphen “.

"This is a string"

Please note that in the VO dialect a string can also be delimited with the single hyphen ' .

'This is a string' // valid only in the VO dialect, not in Core or Vulcan

If you need to specify special characters or single hyphens in a string, you need an escaped string, prefixed with e:

e"This is an escaped string with a new line \nand a double \" hyphen"

There are also interpolated strings that can contain variables:

local cValue := "guys" as string
Console.WriteLine( i"Hi {cValue}" ) // Hi guys

For more details please see Strings and their prefixes and String, Char and Byte

As default, every number with decimals is treated as Double datatype, and every number without decimals as Int32 datatype. If you need to specify what type a numeric literal should take, use suffixes:

• d for Double
• s for Ssingle
• m for Decimal
• b for Binary

You can also use a prefix of 0x to specify a hexadecimal value. Sample code:

Console.WriteLine( "123.45  is a " + (123.45 ):GetType():Name )	// Double
Console.WriteLine( "123     is a " + (123 ):GetType():Name )		// Int32
Console.WriteLine( "123s    is a " + ( 123s ):GetType():Name )		// Single
Console.WriteLine( "123d    is a " + ( 123d ):GetType():Name )		// Double
Console.WriteLine( "123dm   is a " + ( 123m ):GetType():Name )		// Decimal
Console.WriteLine( "0x111   has a decimal value of " + 0x111:ToString() )	// decimal 273
Console.WriteLine( "0b111   has a decimal value of " + 0b111:ToString() )	// decimal 7
