Numeric Formats
Numeric (Integer) constants may be expressed in three formats; decimal,
hexadecimal, or quoted character.
Decimal constants are specified by writing a decimal number. Hexadecimal constants
are specified by prefacing the hex constant by 0x. Quoted character constants are a
single character placed between single quotes (') and have the numeric value
specified on an ASCII chart.
Example:
INTEGER I;
I=123; // Specify Decimal constant.
I=0xABC; // Specify a Hexadecimal constant (Decimal value
2748)
I='A'; // Specify a character constant (Decimal value 65)
INTEGER K;
K=54; // Specify Decimal constant
K=0x36; // Specify a Hexadecimal Constant (Decimal
// Value 54)
K='6'; // All three of these are the same value
// (Decimal value 54)
The three forms may be used interchangeably and are used to make code more
readable.
Example:
STRING A$[10], B$[10], C$[10];
INTEGER I;
BUFFER_INPUT COM_IN$[50];
// A$, B$, and C$ contain identical values
// after these lines run.
A$=CHR('A');
B$=CHR(65);
C$=CHR(0x41);
// Preserve the lower nibble of a word, mask the rest out.
I = VAL1 & 0x000F;
// Read until a comma is detected in the stream.
DO
{
I = GetC(COM_IN$)
}
UNTIL (I = ',');
