| Example | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
42, 0xFF42 | Int | integer constant |
0.32, 3., 2.1e5 | Float | floating-point decimal constant |
true, false | Bool | boolean constant |
~/haxe/gi | EReg | regular expression |
null | T | null value for any nullable type |
"XXX", 'XXX' | String | string literal |
"X".code, 'X'.code | Int | Unicode character codepoint |
[1, 2, 3], [] | Array<T> | array literal |
["a" => 1], [] | Map<T, U> | map literal |
{foo: true}, {} | T | anonymous structure literal |
1...3 | IntIterator | range |
