Integer
variables are used to hold numbers within the following range:
–32768 <= integer <= 32767
Internally, integers are 2-byte
short
values. Thus, when appearing within a structure, integers require 2 bytes of storage. When used with binary or random files, 2 bytes of storage are required.
When passed to external routines,
Integer
values are sign-extended to the size of an integer on that platform (either 16 or 32 bits) before pushing onto the stack.
The type-declaration character for
Integer
is
%
.
