INTEGER Type
Function
Declare one or more variables of type integer.
Syntax
INTEGER var|arr(s[,s[,s]])[,var|arr(s[,s[,s]])]
var - The name of a variable to declare. Must start with a letter
[A-Z] which may be followed by letters, digits [0-9] or the
underscore [_]. May be of any length but only the first 32
characters are used.
arr - The name of an array variable to declare. The same naming
conventions as var are used.
s - The size (0-based) of an array variable dimension. Any
constant integer expression is allowed.
Remarks
INTEGER variables are stored as four byte signed long integers. The
range of an INTEGER is -2,147,483,648 - +2,147,483,647. An INTEGER
assignment to a STRING will result in a string with the representation
of the number (similar to BASIC's STR$ function and C's ltoa function).
A STRING to INTEGER assignment will convert the string back to the four
byte binary integer value (similar to BASIC's VAL function and C's atol
function). If an INTEGER is assigned to or from any other type, an
appropriate conversion is performed automatically by PPL.
Examples
INTEGER i, year, cardDeck(4*13), matrix(2,2), matrices(3,4,5)
