Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Number Literals

A number literal represents a number in your script.

Some examples of number literals are 16 and 3.14159. You can’t explicitly assign a type (for example, integer or floating point) to a number literal. Scientific E notation isn’t supported.

The responses to queries are in JSON. Therefore, the returned numeric field is a “number” class.
