No, the numeric type depends on what value you type. The constant editor is just a GUI for a line of code like: const foo = 42 Note that you don't declare constants as "Integer", "Double" etc. The compiler simply infers the type from the value, just as it would do with a literal. But I don't understand why you're seeing that these constants don't work as parameters. They certainly do for me in the last beta (which I guess I can mention since r2 is no longer in beta), but I haven't yet downloaded the official r2 release to try it there. Meanwhile, I'd suggest, make a simple example of trying to pass a single numeric constant to a method that takes a single integer parameter, and if this still doesn't work, report it as a bug.
