Datasheet

LITERALS
Literals are tokens representing fixed numeric or character values.
The data type of a constant is deduced by the compiler using such clues as numer-
ic value and format used in the source code.
Integer Literals
Integral values can be represented in decimal, hexadecimal or binary notation.
In decimal notation, numerals are represented as a sequence of digits (without com-
mas, spaces or dots), with optional prefix + or - operator to indicate the sign. Values
default to positive (
6258 is equivalent to +6258).
The dollar-sign prefix (
$) or the prefix 0x indicates a hexadecimal numeral (for
example, $8F or 0x8F).
The percent-sign prefix (
%) indicates a binary numeral (for example, %0101).
Here are some examples:
11 ' decimal literal
$11 ' hex literal, equals decimal 17
0x11 ' hex literal, equals decimal 17
%11 ' binary literal, equals decimal 3
The allowed range of values is imposed by the largest data type in mikroBasic PRO
for AVR –
longword. The compiler will report an error if the literal exceeds
4294967295 ($FFFFFFFF).
Floating Point Literals
A floating-point value consists of:
- Decimal integer
- Decimal point
- Decimal fraction
- e or E and a signed integer exponent (optional)
You can omit either decimal integer or decimal fraction (but not both).
Negative floating constants are taken as positive constants with the unary operator
minus (-) prefixed.
