## Detailed Description

Includes and defines some default data types.

## Typedef Documentation

### typedef ZyanU8 ZyanBool

Defines the `ZyanBool` data-type.

Represents a default boolean data-type where `0` is interpreted as `false` and all other values as `true`.

### typedef char\* ZyanCharPointer

Defines the `ZyanCharPointer` data-type.

This type is most often used to represent null-terminated strings aka. C-style strings.

### typedef const char\* ZyanConstCharPointer

Defines the `ZyanConstCharPointer` data-type.

This type is most often used to represent null-terminated strings aka. C-style strings.

### typedef const void\* ZyanConstVoidPointer

Defines the `ZyanConstVoidPointer` data-type.

### typedef ZyanI8 ZyanTernary

Defines the `ZyanTernary` data-type.

The `ZyanTernary` is a balanced ternary type that uses three truth values indicating `true`, `false` and an indeterminate third value.

### typedef void\* ZyanVoidPointer

Defines the `ZyanVoidPointer` data-type.
