Revision 1 to 2. Removed lines have a minus sign; added lines have a plus sign.
Title: WordBool Wordbool
| Old | New | | Line |
|---|
| 1 | | - | Back to [[Data type|data types]]. |
| 2 | | - | |
| 3 | | - | Range of values: True .. False |
| 4 | | - | |
| 5 | | - | Memory requirement: 2 bytes or 16 bits |
| 6 | | - | |
| 7 | | - | A [[Data field|data field]] of the **WordBool** [[Data type|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 WordBool data type is used like the Boolean data type and the WordBool data type behaves like the Boolean data type. |
| 12 | | - | |
| 13 | | - | Definition of a data field of the type WordBool: |
| 14 | | - | |
| 15 | | - | ``` pascal |
| 16 | | - | var |
| 17 | | - | w : WordBool; |
| 18 | | - | ``` |
| 19 | | - | |
| 20 | | - | Examples of assigning valid values: |
| 21 | | - | |
| 22 | | - | ``` pascal |
| 23 | | - | w := True; |
| 24 | | - | w := false; |
| 25 | | - | w := 10 <> 20; // The result of the comparison is true |
| 26 | | - | ``` |
| 27 | | - | |
| 28 | | - | Examples of assigning invalid values: |
| 29 | | - | |
| 30 | | - | ``` pascal |
| 31 | | - | w := 'True'; |
| 32 | | - | w := 'False'; |
| 33 | | - | w := '10 <> 20'; |
| 34 | | - | w := 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|truth value]], while the assignment of the lower example is literals of the type [[String]] and the type [[Shortint|ShortInt]]. |
