^a JavaScript only uses floating point numbers so there are some technicalities.
^b Perl doesn't have separate types. Strings and numbers are interchangeable.

Famous quotes containing the word type:
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
