CUShort
Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned integer (`UShort`)
Syntax
`
Declare Function CUShort ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As UShort
Type typename
Declare Operator Cast ( ) As UShort
End Type
`
Usage
`
result = CUShort( numeric expression )
result = CUShort( string expression )
result = CUShort( user defined type )
`
Parameters
`expression`
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a `UShort` value
`datatype`
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
`typename`
a user defined type
Return Value
A `UShort` value.
Description
The `CUShort` function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 16-bit `UShort` value. The function does not check for an overflow, and results are undefined for values which are less than `0` or larger than `65` `535`.
The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned Short'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using `ValUInt`.
Example
`
' Using the CUSHORT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an USHORT variable
Dim numeric_value As UShort
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUShort(36000.4)
'Print the result, should return 36000
Print numeric_value
Sleep
