JScript .NET incorporates almost all the features in ECMAScript Edition 3 and many of the proposed features for ECMAScript Edition 4. In addition, JScript .NET also has many unique features that are not provided by the ECMAScript languages. Support of data types is one of these features that are not provided by ECMAScript Edition 4. Will Edition 5 include data types? Too early to say. The data types supported by JScript .NET are: boolean, byte, char, decimal, double, float, int, long, Number, sbyte, short, String, uint, ulong, and ushort.
