int

Whole number (primitive)

Description

An integer is a whole number (eg 1, 2, 3, 4) rather than one with a decimal point (such as 1.1).

Integers in Murex are sized based on the bit (or word) size of the target CPU.

A 386, ARMv6 or other 32bit build of Murex would see the range of from -2147483648 (negative) through 2147483647 (positive).

AMD64 or other 64bit built of Murex would see the range from -9223372036854775808 (negative) through 9223372036854775807 (positive).

Unless you specifically know you only want whole numbers, it is recommended that you use the default numeric data-type: num.

Supported Hooks

• Marshal() Supported
• Unmarshal() Supported

• WriteArray() (type): Write a data type, one array element at a time
• ReadMap() (type): Treat data type as a key/value structure and read its contents
• Marshal() (type): Converts structured memory into a structured file format (eg for stdio)
• Unmarshal() (type): Converts a structured file format into structured memory
