| Notes |
UserTalk employs automatic type coercion when evaluating arithmetic and comparative operations; the two expressions or the division operation need not be of the same type. Generally, the resulting type is the more complex type, the one that can most readily represent both values. Only numeric-compatible types - short, long, single, double, date, etc. - can be divided by one another.
