explicit conversion to 8-bit integer
Description
( type ) expressionInput
- type - 8-bit integer
- expression - Expressions
Output
- return - 8-bit integer
Note: In C like languages the data type size may be different depending on compiler and architecture, we show only one standard look.
Examples
Visual C++ .NET
Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:xmin = -128; ymax = 127;
signed char x= -5;           // x = -5
signed char y = -(15 % 4);   // y = -3
y = (signed char)(x * y);    // z = 15.
Pascal  Used keywords: shortint 
shortint
Description
 shortint (expr)Input
- expr - Any
Output
- return - 8-bit integer
