Hello, I’ve heard that Luau does not have a proper number type, and I genuinely do not understand what this implies.

Could anybody help me?

I mean that’s what I’m thinking, I think I should edit and mention some posts saying it in OP.

Maybe you made spelling mistake?

local myNumber = 2

if typeof(myNumber) == "number" then
	print("yes") --prints
end

(and btw they do have one)

#5

Luau has a type called “number”
Perhaps you’re referring to there being no distinction between floats and integers, which is true

Figures. Whoever wrote that probably just vaguely explained it, which created this confusion.
