Function type uint
In the language the following functions are defined that returns uint type:
Function Description
typeof (Expression_Type_Object) the value is identification (i.e. number) of the real type object
Len (Expression_Type_String) the value is the length of data stored in the parameter
DecLen (Expression_Type_String) the value is a declared length the parameter value
InStr (Expression_Type_String,
Expression_Type_String) if the value of the first parameter contains as its understring the value of
the second parameter, the result value is the value position of the
second parameter in the value of the first parameter, Otherwise the
value is a zero.
Instr (Expression_Type_Unt,
Expression_Type_String,
Expression_Type_String) If the value of the second parameter contains as its understring at the
higher position than the value of the first parameter the value of the third
parameter, the resulting value is the position value of the third parameter
in the value of the second parameter. Otherwise the value is a zero.
Asc (Expression_Type_String) the value is the code of the first parameter value sign. If the value of the
parameter is an empty string, an error is generated
2.3.4. Expression type string
Expression type string:
Expression_Type_String - > Expression_A_Type String + Expression_Type_String |
Expression_A_Type_String & Expression_Type_String | Expression_Type_String
Expression_A_String - > string_constant | variable_type_string | (Expression_Type_String) |
Reference_To_Element_Type_String | Function_Type_String
String constant
In general a string constant is a few characters closed in double quotation mark – i.e. character ”. If the
double quotation mark should be a part of the constant value, it is needed to write the double quotation
mark twice after each other.
Binary operator
The binary operators mentioned in this grammar have the following semantics:
Operator Symbol Value
Concatenation + the result is the concatenation of original type string values which are put
in one after another.
Concatenation & the result is the concatenation of original type string values which are put
in one after another. The operation is identical to the previous operation.
