Types

Ferret's most basic data types are

• Object - All Ferret values are objects - (a: "b", c: "d")
• String (abbr. Str) - "Ferret is fun"
• Number (abbr. Num) - Real numbers - 3.14
• Complex - Complex numbers - 3+5i
• Regex (abbr. Rgx) - Regular expressions - /(.*)/
• List - Ordered lists - [1, 2, "three"]
• Hash - Key-value maps - [a: "b", c: "d"]
• Boolean (abbr. Bool) - true and false
• Symbol (abbr. Sym) - :symbol
• Function (abbr. Func) - func {}

Although not really a type, it seems like a good time to mention that undefined is the object representing the absence of a value.
