# Values
# Data Types
## Simple Values
## Primitives
Nix has the following basic data types:
- <a id="type-string" href="#type-string">String</a>
- *Strings* can be written in three ways.
*Strings* can be written in three ways.
The most common way is to enclose the string between double quotes,
e.g., `"foo bar"`. Strings can span multiple lines. The special
characters `"` and `\` and the character sequence `${` must be
escaped by prefixing them with a backslash (`\`). Newlines, carriage
returns and tabs can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`,
respectively.

You can include the result of an expression into a string by

enclosed expression must evaluate to something that can be coerced

(where `freetype` is a derivation), you can instead write the more

${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
";
```
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested; in
this case the outer string contains various antiquotations that
themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in
turn contain expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).

The second way to write string literals is as an *indented string*,

This kind of string literal intelligently strips indentation from
the start of each line. To be precise, it strips from each line a
number of spaces equal to the minimal indentation of the string as a
whole (disregarding the indentation of empty lines). For instance,
the first and second line are indented two spaces, while the third
line is indented four spaces. Thus, two spaces are stripped from
each line, so the resulting string is

```
Note that the whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is
ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.

Antiquotation (`${expr}`) is supported in indented strings.
Antiquotation (`${expr}`) is supported in indented strings.
Since `${` and `''` have special meaning in indented strings, you
need a way to quote them. `$` can be escaped by prefixing it with
`''` (that is, two single quotes), i.e., `''$`. `''` can be escaped
by prefixing it with `'`, i.e., `'''`. `$` removes any special
meaning from the following `$`. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
characters can be written as `''\n`, `''\r`, `''\t`, and `''\`
escapes any other character.

Indented strings are primarily useful in that they allow multi-line
string literals to follow the indentation of the enclosing Nix
expression, and that less escaping is typically necessary for
strings representing languages such as shell scripts and
configuration files because `''` is much less common than `"`.

mkdir $out/bin $out/etc
cp foo $out/bin
echo "Hello World" > $out/etc/foo.conf

```
Finally, as a convenience, *URIs* as defined in appendix B of
[RFC 2396](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) can be written *as
is*, without quotes. For instance, the string
`"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"` can also be written as
`http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2`.

- Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
- <a id="type-number" href="#type-number">Number</a>
Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one
floating point number will have a floating point number as a result.
Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
- *Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one
floating point number will have a floating point number as a result.
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
- <a id="type-path" href="#type-path">Path</a>
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
or directory name.
*Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
Antiquotation is supported in any paths except those in angle brackets.
`./${foo}-${bar}.nix` is a more convenient way of writing
`./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"` or `./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"`. At
least one slash must appear *before* any antiquotations for this to be
recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
- *Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
or directory name.
- The null value, denoted as `null`.
Antiquotation is supported in any paths except those in angle brackets.
`./${foo}-${bar}.nix` is a more convenient way of writing
`./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"` or `./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"`. At
least one slash must appear *before* any antiquotations for this to be
recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
## Lists
- <a id="type-boolean" href="#type-boolean">Boolean</a>
*Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
- <a id="type-null" href="#type-null">Null</a>
The null value, denoted as `null`.

between square brackets. For example,

Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
## Sets
## Attribute Set
Sets are really the core of the language, since ultimately the Nix
language is all about creating derivations, which are really just sets
of attributes to be passed to build scripts.
An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed in curly brackets (`{ }`).
Sets are just a list of name/value pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed
in curly brackets, where each value is an arbitrary expression
terminated by a semicolon. For example:
Names and values are separated by an equal sign (`=`).
Each value is an arbitrary expression terminated by a semicolon (`;`).
Attributes can appear in any order.
An attribute name may only occur once.
Example:
```nix
{ x = 123;
{
x = 123;
text = "Hello";
y = f { bla = 456; };
}
```
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`. The order of
the attributes is irrelevant. An attribute name may only occur once.
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`.
Attributes can be selected from a set using the `.` operator. For
