type ShortWord = ShortCard;
ShortWord
is an unsigned integer type which is not larger than
Word
. On some platforms it is 16 bits wide and thus has a range
of 0 .. 65535
. It is the same as ShortCard.
ShortWord
in GNU Pascal is compatible to short unsigned int
in GNU C.
There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see Integer Types.
ShortWord
is a GNU Pascal extension.
ShortWord
in GNU Pascal essentially corresponds to Word
in
Borland Pascal and Delphi where it is a 16-bit unsigned integer type.
program ShortWordDemo; var a: ShortWord; begin a := 42; WriteLn (a) end.
