Int64 Class
An Int64 is an intrinsic data type in REALbasic. It is a signed integer that uses eight bytes of storage.
It has a range of range of -9223372036854775808 to +9223372036854775807. The default value of an Int64 is 0.
Notes
If either operand of an integer arithmetic expression is a 64-bit value, the result will be a 64-bit value. If both operands are 32 bits or smaller, the result will be a 32-bit value. If either operand of an arithmetic expression is signed, the result will be signed; the result will only be unsigned if both operands are unsigned.
If a numeric literal outside the range of an Int32 are converted to Int64s. Prior to the introduction of the Int64 data type, they were converted to floating point.
REALbasic offers both signed and unsigned integer data types that use one, two, four, or eight bytes of memory. The following table summaries these data types.
Data Type | Number of Bytes | Range |
Int8 or Byte | 1 | -128 to 127 |
Int16 | 2 | -32,768 to 32,767 |
Int32 or Integer | √ | -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 |
Int64 | 8 | -2^63 to 2^63-1 |
UInt8 | 1 | 0 to 255 |
UInt16 | 2 | 0 to 65535 |
UInt32 | √ | 0 to 4,294,967,295 |
UInt64 | 8 | 0 to 2^64-1 |
