Primitive Types

Morph provides four fundamental primitive types.

Type Overview

Type	Description	Example
int	Integer numbers	42, -7, 0
float	Floating-point numbers	3.14, -0.5, 1.0
string	Text strings	"hello", "Morph"
bool	Boolean values	true, false

---

Integer (int)

Whole numbers without a decimal point:

age is 25 as int;
count is 0;           // inferred as int
negative is -100;

---

Float (float)

Numbers with a decimal point:

pi is 3.14159 as float;
ratio is 0.5;          // inferred as float
temperature is -40.0;

---

String (string)

Text enclosed in double quotes:

name is "Alice" as string;
greeting is "Hello, Morph!";
empty is "";

String concatenation uses +:

full is "Hello, " + name + "!";
Print(full);    // Hello, Alice!

---

Boolean (bool)

The values true and false:

active is true as bool;
visible is false;

if (active) {
    Print("Active!");
}

---

Default Type Inference

When no as annotation is provided, the compiler infers the type:

Value	Inferred Type
42	int
3.14	float
"text"	string
true / false	bool

Next Steps

• Type Annotation — Explicitly specifying types with as
• Dynamic — Untyped / late-bound variables
