Number

An integer number.

A Number is an integer such as 42 or -42. More precisely, a Number is a signed 32-bit integer (two’s complement).

Declare a number variable

You can assign a number to a variable:

let num = 42;
basic.showNumber(42);

For example the following code gets the display brightness (using the brightness function) and stores the value in a variable named brightness:

let brightness = led.brightness()

Arithmetic operators

The following arithmetic operators work on numbers and return a Number:

• addition: 1 + 3
• subtraction: 1 - 3
• multiplication: 3 * 2
• integer division: 7 / 3
• modulo is available through the math library

Relational operators

The following relational operators work on numbers and return a Boolean:

• equality: (3 + 1) = 4
• inequality: 3 != 4
• less or equal than: 3 <= 4
• less than: 3 < 4
• greater or equal than : 4 >= 3
• greater than: 4 > 3

Show number

The show number function displays a number on the LED screen. For example, this code displays the number 42:
