Numbers
HP Pascal recognizes three kinds of numeric literals: integer, real, and
longreal .
Integer Literals
An integer literal consists of a sequence of digits from the subrange 0
through 9. No spaces may separate the literal, and leading zeroes are
not significant. The compiler interprets unsigned integer literals as
positive values.
The maximum unsigned integer literal is equal in value to the standard
constant maxint . The minimum signed integer literal is equal in value to
the standard constant minint . The actual values of minint and maxint are
implementation dependent; however, at least 9 decimal digits are allowed.
Refer to the HP Pascal/iX Programmer's Guide or the HP Pascal/HP-UX
Programmer's Guide , depending on your implementation, for more
information.
