• Compound Types
    • Most Midas frameworks support various compound types which can hold zero or more values and may impose some type of structure or special meaning to the values.
    • The most frequent compound types include:
      String A string of arbitrary length.
      Table Tabular KEY=VALUE data (may include sub-tables).
      Array A homogeneous array of elements (often a frame of data.)
      Message A message that can be sent between parts of an application.
    • The actual implementation of these differs between frameworks.
