9.144 LongInt

Synopsis

 
type
  LongInt  { built-in type }

Description

`LongInt' is a signed integer type which is longer than `Integer'. On most platforms it is 64 bits wide and thus has a range of `-9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807'.

`LongInt' in GNU Pascal is compatible to `long long int' in GNU C.

There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see section 8.2.3 Integer Types.

Conforming to

`LongInt' is a Borland Pascal extension. Borland Pascal defines `LongInt' as a 32-bit signed integer type (section 9.125 Integer in GNU Pascal).

Example

 
program LongIntDemo;
var
  a: LongInt;
begin
  a := 42;
  WriteLn (a)
end.
