type Byte { built-in type } |
`Byte' is an unsigned integer type which is one "unit" wide. On most platforms one unit has 8 bits, therefore the type is named "byte" and usually has a range of `0..255'. (It is the same as section 9.33 ByteCard.)
`Byte' in GNU Pascal is compatible to `unsigned char' in GNU C.
There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see section 8.2.3 Integer Types.
`Byte' is a Borland Pascal extension. (For something equivalent in ISO Pascal, see section 8.2.10.1 Subrange Types.)
