Integers

An integer data types are signed 32 bit values between −2,147,483,648 and +2,147,483,647 (that is 0x80000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF in hex). Integers are whole numbers. The fractional datatype is the float.

DEBUG_CHANNEL can be used as a constant for the maximum integer (for that is the value it is defined as).

Examples

All of the following are integers: <lsl>integer firstInt = 5512623; integer secondInt = ACTIVE; integer thirdInt = 0x61EC1A; integer fourthInt = -160693;</lsl>

The following are NOT integers, use float for them: <lsl> integer decimalValue = 125.2; // ERROR : Type mismatch -- Integer literals can't have a decimal. integer bigValue = 3147483647; // An undocumented way to say -1,147,483,649 // Integer literals can't be larger than 2,147,483,647. integer biggerValue = 10123456789; // An undocumented way to say -1 // Integer literals can't be larger than 2,147,483,647. </lsl>
