Data types

Understand the different data types used in CalcTree variables, including numbers, quantities, tables, and more.

Each variable in CalcTree has a data type that defines how its value is interpreted. These types are automatically inferred based on the value or explicitly defined when using templates or spreadsheet inputs.

• Number: numeric values, such as 10 or 2.85

• Quantity: a number and a physical unit, such as 1.5 hours

• String: string of characters, such as OK

• Boolean: either True or False

• Table: a two dimensional array of the above types
