The problem with strings is that they are for humans. It’s natural for us to distinguish things by giving them a name. But a program doesn’t understand the meaning of those names. Most code editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) don’t understand strings. In other words, ...
In JavaScript, there are the following primitive data types:Number—this includes floating point numbers as well as integers, for example 1, 100, 3.14. String—any number of characters, for example "a", "one", "one 2 three". Boolean—can be either true or false. Undefined—when you try...

JavaScript has two data types the represent nothing or the lack of a value. Undefined is the implicit, no value was set. For example, no value was ever set. Null is the explicit, no value was set. Meaning we intentionally set it to no value. This can be really useful, but also ...
Any data type built-into a programming language is called ‘primitive’ data type (the word itself betrays its meaning). Built-in data types are the basic building blocks of a programming language. It is often possible to combine them to create composite data types. The basic behavior of a...
@michellecooper,@cbrazaI think in this case we wouldn't really repurpose an existing field for a completely different purpose, since the purpose is nearly the same: Discover the original source of the event. We can just start to make the exact meaning clear, and create more rules around pro...
