Integer

Synopsis

     type
       Integer  { built-in type }

Description

Integer is the “natural” signed integer type in GNU Pascal. On some platforms it is 32 bits wide and thus has a range of -2147483648 .. 2147483647. Use it whenever you need a general-purpose signed integer type.

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

Conforming to

In ISO Pascal, Integer is the only built-in integer type. (However see Subrange Types.)

Example

     program IntegerDemo;
     var
       a: Integer;
     begin
       a := 42;
       WriteLn (a)
     end.
