ByteCard

Synopsis

     type
       ByteCard = Cardinal attribute (Size = BitSizeOf (Byte));

Description

ByteCard is an unsigned integer type which is one “unit” wide. On most platforms one unit has 8 bits, therefore the type is prefixed “byte-” and usually has a range of 0 .. 255.

ByteCard in GNU Pascal is compatible to unsigned char in GNU C.

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

Conforming to

ByteCard is a GNU Pascal extension.

Example

     program ByteCardDemo;
     var
       a: ByteCard;
     begin
       a := 42;
       WriteLn (a)
     end.
