Variable types

There are five basic types of variables available in EASI.

• integer 4 byte signed integer number
• float 4 byte single precision floating point number
• double 8 byte double precision floating point number
• char single character (1 byte)
• byte single unsigned byte

Note: unlike parameters, EASI variables represent single values and not vector values. For example, an EASI float variable represents a single number, unlike an EASI numeric parameter which represents 16 numeric floating point values. If a value is assigned to a variable that is not within the range of legal values the variable may represent, the result of the assignment is undefined and should not be relied upon.
