Integers

An integer data types are signed 32 bit values between −2,147,483,648 and +2,147,483,647 (that is 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF in hex). Integers are whole numbers. If you want a decimal point, use float.

You can use DEBUG_CHANNEL as a constant for the maximum integer.

Examples

All of the following are integers:

integer firstInt = 5512623;
integer secondInt = ACTIVE;
integer thirdInt = 0x61EC1A;
integer fourthInt = -160693;

The following are NOT integers, use float for them:

integer firstInt = 125.2; //Integers can't have a decimal.
integer secondInt = 10000000000; //Integers can't be larger than 2,147,483,647.
