Undocumented Data Type Shortcut

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Undocumented Data Type Shortcut

@ seems to create a byte (or something that gets cut off at 255, which says 'byte' to me).

E.g.,

Print 255@
Print 256@
Print 257@

Rem
Should print:
255
0
1
EndRem


and @@ is a short. Or you could just use :byte or :short

Print 256:Byte

is documented

Yeah, this is correct -- @ is byte and @@ is short. Looks like it got missed out.

i would love to see this :-)

byte=@
short=@@
int=@@@@
long=@@@@@@@@

MrCredo: Only if you're sadistic.

lol@Credo

I was thinking it was a bad idea to make short two charachters but I guess you ran out of symbols eh :)

So I'm the only one that actually likes MrCredo's idea? ;]

yes. :)

hey people, this was a joke :-)

personaly, i don't like this shortcuts, and i think here should exist another shortcut for @@
