Hexadecimal numbers in Eu

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

Hi,

in some other programming languages, hex numbers can represent positive
or negative values. E.g. in PowerBASIC 3.2,
   ? &hFFF0       ' prints -16
   ? &h00F0       ' prints 240

>From what I read at 'refman_2.htm#1' (Eu 2.4), and from my experience,
I have the impression that hexadecimal numbers (that don't have a '-'
sign at the beginning) in Euphoria _always_ have positive values.

Rob, is this true?

In Euphoria, e.g.

? #FFF0       -- prints 65520
   ? #00F0       -- prints 240


Regards,
   Juergen
