Operators

Typecasting is a way of specifying what we want in terms of the assignment and the values passed to the assignment.


Typecast operators:

  • string
  • float
  • signed
  • unsigned


Converting to string

If we want to assign a numeric variable as an ASCII string then we can use the "STRING" typecast operator.


StringVar = STRING NumericVar


This can be taken further and used on results of calculations etc.


StringVar = STRING(NumericVar * 5)

Converting to float

If we want to assign a integer variable as a floating point variable then we can use the "float" typecast operator.


FloatVar = float IntVar


This can be taken further and used on results of calculations etc.


FloatVar = float (IntVar * 5)


To assign a float status to a fixed value we can do one of the following.


  • FloatVar = float 5
  • FloatVar = 5.0
