Exotic Number Types
Balanced Ternary
| Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
trit |
Ternary digit: -1, 0, +1 | ~2 bits packed |
tryte |
9 trits | Ternary byte equivalent |
Trit values: T (−1), 0 (0), 1 (+1).
Balanced Nonary
| Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
nit |
Nonary digit: -4 to +4 | Base-9 unit |
nyte |
Collection of nits | Nonary byte equivalent |
Status
Basic initialization and comparison operations compile and pass tests:
trit:a = 1;
trit:b = 0;
tryte:ta = 1;
nit:n1 = 3;
nyte:ny1 = 7;
These types are functional for basic operations. Advanced arithmetic is limited.
