[Scilab-users] scilab memory usage

[Stephan Schreckenbach]

Does scilab itself declare the variables to the type of lowest possible
memory consumption? Or do I have to do that? How?

roughly:
string : 4 bytes per character (UTF-8 encoded)
integer: (u)int8 : 1 byte   (u)int16 : 2 bytes    (u)int32: 4 bytes
double: 8 bytes
boolean: 4 bytes
+ few other bytes to encode the format ( vector, matrix,
    hypermatrix...)
