Number
Numbers are a way to represent any ordinal limited by your computer's memory.
Cheddar's numbers support decimals, separators, bases, and implicit promotion.
Basic Numbers
The most basic form of a number in Cheddar are integers and decimals. Cheddar wraps both of these in a "Number" type. You can write numbers as you would in most languages:
1
1
2
123
3
123.456
4
.123
5
0.1
6
1.0

Separators
Often in programs you deal with large numbers. Numbers are often written with commas to distinguish the sections of the number. Cheddar provides a simple syntax for number separators,
_.1
123_456 // Same as 123456
2
1_2_3_4 // Same as 1234
3
1__2345 // same as 12345
Copied!
As you can see, Cheddar does not enforce where you place your number separators.
Bases
You can type binary, octal, and hexadecimal literals in Cheddar:
1
0b1010 // *b*inary
2
0xFF // He*x*adecimal
3
0o0222 // *o*ctal

What's the zero at the beginning? That specified the amount of zeros to append to the integer section of the number. For example:
1
2b1 // equal to 0b100
2
1xF // equal to 0xF0
