<p>MUMPS has one data type (strings). A variable can be unsubscripted or not, and the subscripted variables form a
sparse n-tree. MUMPS doesn't have arrays, but you can create a tree that only has one level of branching. Similarly, while the language doesn't have lists, you can mimic lists by creating strings with a consistent character (or string) between each entry.</p>
