Defulongint

FreeBASIC

Defulongint
 
Specifies a default data type for a range of variable names

Syntax

Defulongint start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]

Parameters

start_letter
the first letter in the range
end_letter
the last letter in the range

Description

Defulongint specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type ULongInt if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.

Example

This will make lNumber a ULongInt number since its first letter starts with l.
'' Compile with -lang fblite

#lang "fblite"

defulongint l
Dim lNumber
