5.2.3.2.2 return Operator
Issuing a return operator from run is functionally equivalent to using the exit
operator. Consider the following example:
function run()
int
i
…some code…
if(i>2)
exit
return
end if
...some code…
end function
The exit and return statements in the preceding example are functionally identical.
5.2.4 Types
MAXL supports three kinds of object types:
• Fundamental types are built into the language (such as int and float).
Instances of these fundamental types are called “variables.”
• Object types are built-in types with encapsulated methods and
properties (such as axis and vector).
• Debug strings used for formatting debug messages
5.2.4.1 Fundamental Types
Fundamental types in MAXL are divided into two categories: integer and floating.
The following table explains the restrictions on type sizes.

Category Type Contents
Integer int 32 bits integer type.
Floating float 64 bits float point type. Like double in C/C++

Object Types
An object is a base unit of the Maestro.
There are several types of MAXL objects:
• Axis
• Vector
• Group • Trajectory
• Program
Each of these objects is defined by its name and uses a specific set of attributes. These
attributes set depends upon object type.
