3. 1. Data Types

4. General
 By default five different data types
 bool, char, float, int and string
 Clear memory allocation sizes
 int8, int16, int32, int64
 float16, float32, float64

6. General
 Pi is primarily a functional programming language
 Shall be extendable to support other paradigms

7. Classification of Functions
17.06.2016 Philip Jurke 9
Criterion Types
Functionality Converter
Extension
Operator
Language Pi-Language
IR-Language
Purpose Language
Logical
Mathematical

8. Conversion Functions
 Convert one thing to another
 For example:
toFloat(<int>) or maybe asFloat(<int>)
toModel(<function>)

9. Extension Functions
 Extend models and other functions
 For example:
extendWithStatusUpdates(<function>)
extendWithObserverPattern(<model>)

10. Operator Functions
 Shall define the basic design of the language
 As an example:
Language Design Integer + Integer
Operator Function operator int8 + int 8 => add(int8, int8)
Related Function add(int, int)
