| Hexadecimal number | 0x[0-9A-Fa-f]+ | "0x" followed by one or more hexadecimal digits |
| Floating point number | [0-9]+\.[0-9]+ | a decimal number, a dot, and another decimal number. Only supported for some properties that expect a floating point number. |

A character in-between is any single character except a double quote or a back-slash ("\"). It can also be "\\", "\n", "\t", or "\[0-9A-Fa-f][0-9A-Fa-f]" (a back-slash followed by exactly two hexadecimal digits). |

You can combine those elementary values using operators like you're used to from other languages. The following operators are supported:
- Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %
- Bitwise/logic operators: &, |, ^, &&, ||, <<, >>
- Comparison operators: ==, !=, <=, >=, <, >
- Ternary operator: ? : (only for integers)
