LongBool: what changed

Revision 0 to 1. Removed lines have a minus sign; added lines have a plus sign.

Title: LongBool

New		Line
1	+	Back to [[Data type\|data types]].
2	+
3	+	Range of values: True .. False
4	+
5	+	Memory requirement: 4 bytes or 32 bits
6	+
7	+	A data field of the LongBool data type can only contain truth values.
8	+
9	+	Assigning other values leads to compiler error messages when the program is compiled and the compilation process is aborted. This means that the executable program is not created.
10	+
11	+	The LongBool data type is used like the Boolean data type and behaves like the [[Boolean]] data type.
12	+
13	+	Declaration of a data field of type LongBool:
14	+
15	+	``` pascal
16	+	var
17	+	l : LongBool;
18	+	```
19	+
20	+	Examples of assigning valid values:
21	+
22	+	``` pascal
23	+	l := true;
24	+	l := false;
25	+	l := 10 <> 20 ; // The result of the comparison is true
26	+	```
27	+
28	+	Examples of assigning invalid values:
29	+
30	+	``` pascal
31	+	l := 'True';
32	+	l := 'False';
33	+	l := '10 <> 20';
34	+	l := 24;
35	+	```
36	+
37	+	The difference between the two examples is that the upper example is the assignment of literals of the type [[Truth value]], while the assignment of the lower example is literals of the type String and the type [[Shortint\|ShortInt]].
