NativeInt: what changed

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

Title: NativeInt

New		Line
1	+	Back to the [[Data type\|data types]].
2	+
3	+	Range of values: processor-dependent. Examples for Intel and Intel compatible processors:
4	+
5	+	- 32 bit processors: -2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483,647
6	+	- 64 bit processors: -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 .. 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
7	+
8	+	Memory requirements: processor-dependent. Examples of Intel and Intel compatible processors:
9	+
10	+	- 32 bit processors: 4 bytes or 32 bits
11	+	- 64 bit processors: 8 bytes or 64 bits
12	+
13	+	A data field of the data type NativeInt can hold negative and positive [[Integer\|integer]] values. Assigning other values leads to compiler error messages when the program is compiled and the compilation process is aborted. That is, the executable program is not created.
14	+
15	+	Definition of a data field of the type NativeInt:
16	+
17	+	``` pascal
18	+	var
19	+	nint : NativeInt;
20	+	```
21	+
22	+	Examples of assigning valid values:
23	+
24	+	``` pascal
25	+	nint := -2147483648;
26	+	nint := 2147483647;
27	+	```
28	+
29	+	Examples of assigning invalid values:
30	+
31	+	``` pascal
32	+	nint := '-2147483648';
33	+	nint := '2147483647';
34	+	```
35	+
36	+	The difference between the two examples is that the upper example is the assignment of literals of the type [[Integer]], while the assignment of the lower example is literals of the type [[String]].
