Data types (Exported Functions)
Data types refer to arguments in public functions and their return values. All non exported functions can use any Go type (notice that only white-listed package will compile). There are currently 16 types that are supported: 8 basic types (called here 'scalar') and their 8 slice versions. Please note: alias or named types of these should not be used.
You may use any arithmetic, calculation, operand or function that is allowed or exists in Go.
1)
uint32
- a 32 bit unsigned integer2)
uint64
- a 64 bit unsigned integer.3)
string
- a string .4)
[]byte
- a blob of data in slice of bytes. Can represent address and hashes too.5)
bool
- a bit of data.6)
*big.Int
- Go type that is used for very large integers up to 256 bit (referred sometimes as uint256)7)
[20]byte
- a fixed size array of 20 bytes. This is very useful to represent addresses in cryptography.8)
[32]byte
- a fixed size array of 32 bytes. This is very useful for signatures and hashes in cryptography.It is possible to run any arithmetic operation which exists in Go.
1)
[]uint32
- a slice of 32 bit unsigned integers2)
[]uint64

[]bool
- a slice of bits of data.6)
[]*big.Int
- a slice of very large integers. 7)
[][20]byte
- a slice of arrays of 20 bytes.8)
[][32]byte
- a slice of arrays of 32 bytes.
