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

Title: NativeUInt

New		Line
1	+	Back to the [[Data type\|data types]].
2	+
3	+	Range of values: processor-dependent. Examples of Intel and Intel compatible processors:
4	+
5	+	32 bit processors: 0 .. 4294967295 64 bit processors: 0 .. 18446744073709551615
6	+
7	+	Memory requirements: Examples for Intel and Intel compatible processors:
8	+
9	+	32 bit processors: 4 bytes or 32 bits 64 bit processors: 8 bytes or 64 bits
10	+
11	+	A data field of the data type NativeUInt can only accept 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.
12	+
13	+	Definition of a data field of the type NativeUInt:
14	+
15	+	``` pascal
16	+	var
17	+	nuint : NativeUInt;
18	+	```
19	+
20	+	Examples of assigning valid values:
21	+
22	+	``` pascal
23	+	nuint := 0;
24	+	nuint := 4294967295;
25	+	```
26	+
27	+	Examples of assigning invalid values:
28	+
29	+	``` pascal
30	+	nuint := '0';
31	+	nuint := '4294967295';
32	+	```
33	+
34	+	The difference between the two examples is that the upper example is the assignment of literals of the type [[Integer\|integer]], while the assignment of the lower example is literals of the type [[String]].
