ok...I will copy and paste from the same article.
<cfsnip>
In ColdFusion, constants and variables have implied data types. The reason
for the term "implied" is that there are no variable declarations that
define the scalar data type of a variable as one finds in statically typed
languages such as Pascal. Whenever you use a constant or set the value of a
variable, the value you use has a type, be it integer, real, or string. For
example, if you use CFSET to create a variable AGE and set its value to 62,
the implied data type is integer. In addition to these scalar types,
ColdFusion also supports lists, structures, and arrays. The following table
describes the types of variables and constants you can use in a ColdFusion
application page.
