bool
^^^^
The Boolean data type can only contain ``true`` or ``false``.
Short for "boolean", it can only contain ``true`` or ``false``.
int
^^^
The integer data type can only contain integer numbers (both negative
and positive).
Short for "integer", it stores whole numbers (positive and negative).
It is stored as a 64-bit value, equivalent to "int64_t" in C++.
float
^^^^^
Used to contain a floating-point value (real numbers).
Stores real numbers, including decimals, using floating-point values.
It is stored as a 64-bit value, equivalent to "double" in C++.
Note: Currently, data structures such as Vector2, Vector3, and
PoolRealArray store 32-bit single-precision "float" values.
