Numbers

In dryLang, there is only one numeric type under the hood: a 64-bit float (Float64). This simplifies math and eliminates confusing casting issues between integers and floats.

Integer & Float Literals

int_num = 42
float_num = 3.14

Exponent Notation

You can also use exponent notation for very large or very small numbers.

exp_num = 1e4       // 10000
small_num = 2.5e-3  // 0.0025

dryLang also safely handles large raw number literals without integer overflow garbage, interpreting them safely within float bounds.

huge = 99999999999999999999 // Handled gracefully as ~1e20

Warning: Extremely large exponent literals like 1e400 will result in an overflow error (E110 bad number) and will be rejected.
