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 ByteCard.)
Byte
in GNU Pascal is compatible to unsigned char
in GNU C.
There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see Integer Types.
Byte
is a Borland Pascal extension. (For something equivalent in
ISO Pascal, see Subrange Types.)
program ByteDemo; var a: Byte; begin a := 42; WriteLn (a) end.
