This document describes how to specify a data type through a Primitive block.

What is a Primitive block?
•
Most programming languages set up data types in advance for optimal memory allocation for data use and declare the data types before use.
•
A primitive block is a block that specifies a data type. Classify and identify the type of data used by specifying the data type
Types of Primitive blocks
1) string
•
The String block specifies character data type.
•
All values entered are recognized as strings.
•
No separate identifier is required, such as quotation marks (').
2) multi-line string
•
It is a block that specifies space (Space Bar) or line break (Enter).
3) integer
•
The Integer block specifies integer data type.
•
Only -signs and numbers can be entered
•
4) float
•
The Float block specifies real data type.
•
Only decimal points, -signs, and numbers can be entered.
•
5) boolean
•
The boomeran block specifies the boomeran logic value
•
Select the value as true / false from the drop-down list.
6) null
•
The null block specifies the null value
Example of using a Primitive block
•
Primitive blocks are not used alone, but are used in other blocks to define data types for variables, parameter values, and factors.
