Primitive Types
This chapter covers the basic types of data available to LFE, upon which primatives rest all LFE libraries and applications.
- Integers
- Floats
- Atoms
- Booleans
- Characters
Each of these types has an LFE test function of the form TYPENAMEp (which
wrap the respective Erlang is_TYPENAME function). These are used to perform
type checks (especially common in guard expressions). These predicate functions
will be covered in their respective type sections.
