INTNEG()
Converts an unsigned integer into a signed integer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
INTNEG(<nUnsigned|cHexUnsigned>,[<l32Bit>)
--> nSigned
Arguments
<nUnsigned|cHexUnsigned> Designates either a numeric value or
hexadecimal digit string to convert into a 16-bit or 32-bit signed
integer.
<32Bit> If this optional parameter is designated as .T., the
function processes the designated value as a 32-bit unsigned integer.
The default value is a 16-bit unsigned integer (.F.).
Returns
INTNEG() returns a signed 16-bit or 32-bit integer.
Description
This function converts unsigned integers into signed integers.
All 16-bit or 32-bit integers are accepted, depending on whether there
is a second parameter and the logical value is assigned. For the 16-bit
variant, all values for <nUnsigned|cHexUnsigned> that are less than or
equal to +32767 (hex=7FFF), are positive. Values in the range of +32768
(hex=8000) to +65535 (hex=FFFF), have a negative result. When you work
with 32-bit values, the positive range goes to 2147483647 (inclusive).
All values beyond that are negative.
Note
. The function returns a value of 0 for invalid, too large, or
negative parameters.
Examples
. Show valid parameters:
? INTNEG(0) // Result: 0
? INTNEG(-1) // Result: 0
? INTNEG(30000) // Result: 30000
? INTNEG(32767) // Result: 32767
? INTNEG(32768) // Result: -32768
? INTNEG(32769) // Result: -32767
? INTNEG(60000) // Result: -5536
? INTNEG(65535) // Result: -1
? INTNEG("FFFF") // Result: -1
? INTNEG("D0000000", .T.) // Result: -805306368
? INTNEG("FFFFFFFF", .T.) // Result: -1
. Show incorrect instructions or instructions that are too
large:
? INTNEG("GGGG") // Result: 0
? INTNEG(90000) // Result: 0
? INTNEG("FFFFFFFFF") // Result: 0
