Primitives

Everything in EntropyScript is a primitive. There are a few built in primitives, and then all new types inherit from primitive.

Methods

str: func () String;

Returns a stringified version of the primitive

cast: func (t: Any) t | Error;

Tries to cast to that type. If you cannot cast the object or cannot cast to that type, then it will throw an error.

bool: func () Bool

Evaluates the object as a boolean.

is: func (o: Any) Bool;

Returns true if the two are the same object.

let a = 1;
a.is(a); // true
a.is(1); // false
let b = a;
a.is(b); // true
b.is(a); // true

isa: func (type: Any) Bool;

Returns true if the object is of type type

has_property: func (key: Any) Bool;

Returns true if the object has a key which is equal to key

describe: func (description: String) Undefined;

Adds a description to the object. Does nothing when run on built in objects.

type_check: func (obj: Any) Bool;

Reverse of isa. Returns true if obj is of type of whatever was called on.

clone: func () Any;

Returns a clone of the object

The object's type.

The object

The metadata about the object, including its description
