Description

STRING! he string data type is a sequence of characters. A STRING! can be used as a literal constant or as variable. Meta uses a C lika approach to strings. Strings are immutable by their nature. Changing them requires allocating a new string to hold the new value, but Meta takes care of all of the work needed to handle this.

Example Code

number: 1024
string: TO STRING! number

string is now "e;1024"e;
