FUNCTION REFERENCE
MAKEINT(VALUE)
MAKEINT(VALUE)
ARGUMENT TYPE DESCRIPTION
value float The value to be converted.
DESCRIPTION
Reinterprets the floating-point argument as an integer. This function does not perform a type
conversion, but instead takes the bit pattern stored in the argument, and assumes that rather
than representing a floating-point value, it actually represents an integer. It can be used to
manipulate data from a remote device that might actually have a different data type from that
expected by the communications driver.
FUNCTION TYPE
This function is passive.
RETURN TYPE
int.
EXAMPLE
n := MakeInt(fp);
