Numeric types
=============

This document serves as a reference for all of the built-in numeric
types which are available when programming in the IDE.  Programmers
using the :ref:`command-line tools <unix-toolchain>` will have access
to these types as long as they have imported ``wirish.h``; several are
defined in in `libmaple_types.h
<https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/libmaple/libmaple_types.h>`_.
