Comp

Synopsis

     type
       Comp = LongInt;

Description

Comp is a signed integer type which is longer than Integer. On some platforms it is 64 bits wide and thus has a range of -9223372036854775808 .. 9223372036854775807.

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

Conforming to

Comp is a Borland Pascal extension.

In some contexts, Borland Pascal treats Comp as a “real” type – this behaviour is not supported by GPC.

Example

     program CompDemo;
     var
       a: Comp;
     begin
       a := 42;
       WriteLn (a)
     end.
