There are only two data types: integer and string,
the two being coercible to each other in the sense that a string
can be coerced to an integer if it contains a valid ASCII representation
of a decimal, octal or hex number, and the integer can always be coerced
to a string, the result of such coercion being the ASCII string with
decimal representation of the number.
