There are some commands and functions that accept both with special code, but those are exceptions.\r\n\r\nMore importantly, functions cannot return various numeric types depending on their input, so it's impossible to implement things like `ABS`, `MIN` or `MAX` without hacks; we currently have `MINI`, `MINF`, `MAXI`, `MAXF`, for example, to cope with this and... let's face it: it's ugly.\r\n\r\nWhile I do not like automatic integer promotion, BASIC has this feature and it'd make usability much better, especially when rendering graphics... so we should probably add this.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jmmv","@type":"Person","name":"jmmv"},"datePublished":"2021-10-28T16:55:16.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/114/endbasic/issues/114"}
