# Copyright (C) 2007-2009, Parrot Foundation. =head1 Basic PMC Types PMCs are objects, so to use a PMC, you first have to instantiate an object for the PMC using the 'new' opcode and the name of a class. The simple data types have a corresponding PMC type. The Integer type is like $I0, the Float type is like $N0, and the String type is like $S0. Any data type more complex than a simple integer, float, or string (such as an array or hash) is also a PMC. Some PMC types are built into Parrot directly. Some can be loaded dynamically. Some types are defined as classes in PIR code. We'll talk about some of these other types later. =cut .sub main :main $P0 = new ['Integer'] $P0 = 42 say $P0 $P1 = new ['Float'] $P1 = 6.35 say $P1 $P2 = new ['ResizableStringArray'] $P2[0] = "Foo" $P2[1] = "Bar" $P2[2] = "Baz" $S1 = join " ", $P2 say $S1 .end # Local Variables: # mode: pir # fill-column: 100 # End: # vim: expandtab shiftwidth=4 ft=pir:
