CUInt
 
Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned integer (UInteger)

Syntax

Declare Function CUInt ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As UInteger

Type typename
End Type

Usage

result = CUInt( numeric expression )
result = CUInt( string expression )
result = CUInt( user defined type )

Parameters

expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a UInteger value
datatype
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
typename
a user defined type

Return Value

A UInteger value.

Description

The CUInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 32-bit UInteger value. The function does not check for an overflow, and results are undefined for values which are less than 0 or larger than 4 294 967 296.

The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned INTeger'.

If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValUInt.

Example

' Using the CUINT function to convert a numeric value

'Create an UNSIGNED INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As UInteger

'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUInt(300.23)

'Print the result = 300
Print numeric_value
Sleep
