| Yorick Language ReferenceConstantsBy default, an integer number is a constant of type long, and
a real number is a constant of type double. Constants of the typesshort,
int, float,
and complex are specified by means of the suffices
s, n, f, and
i, respectively. Here are some examples:
 char    '\0', '\1', '\x7f', '\177', 'A', '\t'
short   0s, 1S, 0x7fs, 0177s, -32766s
 int     0N, 1n, 0x7Fn, 0177n, -32766n
 long    0, 1, 0x7f, 0177, -32766, 1234L
 float   .0f, 1.f, 1.27e2f, 0.00127f, -32.766e3f
 double  0.0, 1.0, 127.0, 1.27e-3, -32.766e-33
 complex 0i, 1i, 127.i, 1.27e-3i, -32.766e-33i
 string  "", "Hello, world!", "\tTab\n2nd line"
 The following escape sequences are recognized in type char
and type string constants:
 \n    newline
\t    tab
 \"    double quote
 \'    single quote
 \\    backslash
 \ooo  octal number
 \xhh  hexadecimal number
 \a    alert (bell)
 \b    backspace
 \f    formfeed (new page)
 \r    carriage return
