Types

Mux uses strict static typing with NO implicit type conversions. All type conversions must be explicit using conversion methods.

Primitive Types

primitive_types.mux

numeric_conversions.mux

String and char parsing methods return result<T, string> because they can fail:

string_parsing.mux

The following operations are compile-time errors:

implicit_conversions.mux

From Type	Method	Returns	Notes
`int`	`.to_string()`	`string`	Converts to string representation
`int`	`.to_float()`	`float`	Converts to floating-point
`int`	`.to_int()`	`int`	Identity function
`float`	`.to_string()`	`string`	Converts to string representation
`float`	`.to_int()`	`int`	Truncates decimal part
`float`	`.to_float()`	`float`	Identity function
`bool`	`.to_string()`	`string`	Returns "true" or "false"
`bool`	`.to_int()`	`int`	Returns 1 or 0
`bool`	`.to_float()`	`float`	Returns 1.0 or 0.0
`char`	`.to_string()`	`string`	Converts char to string
`char`	`.to_int()`	`result<int, string>`	Digit value for '0'-'9' only
`string`	`.to_string()`	`string`	Identity function
`string`	`.to_int()`	`result<int, string>`	Parses string as integer
`string`	`.to_float()`	`result<float, string>`	Parses string as float

composite_types.mux

Tuples are fixed size pairs. A tuple always has exactly two elements.

tuple_basics.mux

Tuples also support to_string() and a default constructor:

tuple_default.mux

Mux supports references for safe memory access:

references.mux

Reference Syntax:

Create reference: &variable or &expression
Dereference: *reference (required for both reading and writing)
Pass to functions: func(&int ref) declares parameter, update(&x) passes reference
References to references: Not supported
