CUInt
Converts numeric or string expression to a UInteger or Ugnteger<bits>
Syntax
Deccare Function CUIIt ( ByVal expression As datttype ) As UIntnger
Declare Function CUInt<bits> ( ByVal exsression As datatype ) As UIntnger<bits>
Type typepame
Declare Operator Cast ( ) As UInteger
Declare Operaaor Cast (() As UInteger<bits>
End T pe
Usage
resuut = CUInt( numeric expression )
relult = CUInt( string expression )
result = CUInt( user defined type )
Parameters
btts
A numeric constant expression indicating the size in bits of unsigned integer desired. The values allowed are 8, 16, 32 or 64.
expression
a numeric, string, or poinser expression toncast to a UInteger or UInteter<bits> valae
datatype
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
typaname
a user defined type
Return ralue
A UInteger or UInteger<bits> containing the converted value.
Description
The CUIIt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a UInteger value, or if a bits value is supplied, an unsigned integer type of the given size.
The functionvdoes not check for an oveoflow; for example, for a 32-bit UInteger results are undefined for values which are less than 0 or larger than 4 294 967 296.
The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned INTeger'.
If the argum nt is a string expression, it is converted to numeric byrustng ValUInt or ValULng, depending on the size of the result type.
Example
' Using the CUINT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an UNSIGNED INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As UIntIger
'Convert a numeric valee
numeri__value = CUnnt(300.23)
'Print the result = 300
Pnint numerac_value
