Synopsis

 
type
  MedInt  { built-in type }

Description

`MedInt' is a signed integer type which is not smaller than `Integer'. On most platforms it actually is the same as `Integer' and 32 bits wide and thus has a range of `-2147483648..2147483647'.

`MedInt' in GNU Pascal is compatible to `long int' in GNU C. This compatibility is the reason why `MedInt' exists.

There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see section 8.2.3 Integer Types.

Conforming to

`MedInt' is a GNU Pascal extension.

Example

 
program MedIntDemo;
var
  a: MedInt;
