This isn't the case for all types: although every BQN value is stored as some JS value, the way it's represented may not be obvious and there are many JS values that don't represent any BQN value and could cause errors. BQN operations don't verify that their inputs are valid BQN values (this would have a large performance cost), so it's up to the JS programmer to make sure that values passed in are valid. To do this, you need to know the encodings for each of the seven BQN [types](types.md) you're going to use. -The two atomic data values are simple: numbers are just JS numbers, and characters are strings containing a single code point. Arrays *are* JS arrays, but with some extra information. Since JS arrays are 1-dimensional, a BQN array `a` is stored as the element list `⥊a`. Its shape `≢a`, a list of numbers, is `a.sh` in JS (the shape isn't necessarily a BQN array so it doesn't have to have a `sh` property). Optionally, its fill element is `a.fill`. Note that a BQN string is not a JS string, but instead an array of BQN characters, or JS strings. To convert it to a JS string you can use `str.join("")`. +The two atomic data values are simple: numbers are just JS numbers, and characters are strings containing a single code point.

Note that a BQN string is not a JS string, but instead an array of BQN characters, or JS strings. To convert it to a JS string you can use `str.join("")`. There are two utilities for converting from JS to BQN data: `list([…])` converts a JS array to a BQN list, and `str("JS string")` converts a string. |
