Variable typing¶

NDCA is statically typed, which means that each variable has one type of value it can store. Variable types are automatically inferred based on the values assigned to them.

Variable assignment¶

Semantics¶

Variables use value semantics, which means that modifying a value in one variable does not have an effect on any other variables.

These variables are automatically available in every program.

nbhd¶
