Thread: thinBasic 1.11.x.x

  1. #231
    i swear that i have read in the new features that there is an additional name for the Numeric variable Extended (Ext) type, something like 'Huge' but can't find anywhere. it is either a corona syndrome or a dream or a memory from a parallel cosmos in which the thinbasic there is like this thinbasic exactly except it has Goto function.

    Thanks DirectuX , now i feel better that my memory was correct in having something about big numbers, yes now i remember that i read: LARGE_INTEGER data type.

    I'm still wondering why unsigned int64 can't be in thinbasic.

    yes, thinbasic already has unsigned integer -> word and unsigned long -> dword, so naturally we need a new data type unsigned quad -> qword

    I understand it would be nice for symmetry

    Is there any particular use you would need unsigned 64 bit integer for now? The maximum value it can hold is 18446744073709551610 - is it sufficient for your use?

    Maybe better to use some 3rd party library for handling large integers / arbitrary precision arithmetics.

    I am sure it would be possible to add Uint64, but on the other side, as PowerBASIC, used for thinBasic Core development, does not have it, it would mean some extra work.
