Chapter 6<br />

Types of Data<br />

Working with Numbers, Strings, Dates, Currency, and More<br />

This chapter discusses basic data types:<br />

• numbers and strings<br />

• paths, which are a special type of string<br />

• dates and times, which can be either special numbers or special strings<br />

• currency<br />

• hexadecimal values and blobs<br />

At the end of the chapter are two sections that show more advanced methods of interacting with strings and<br />

pattern matching with regular expressions.
