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.
