9.155 MedCard

Synopsis

 
type
  MedCard = Cardinal (BitSizeOf (MedInt));

Description

`MedCard' is an unsigned integer type which is not smaller than `Cardinal'. On most platforms it actually is the same as `Cardinal' and 32 bits wide and thus has a range of `0..4294967295'.

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

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

Conforming to

`MedCard' is a GNU Pascal extension.

Example

 
program MedCardDemo;
var
  a: MedCard;
begin
  a := 42;
  WriteLn (a)
end.
