Alrighty, I have two questions to ask:
1. Is there a length function in Dev Pascal ? If so, what is it? If not, is there a way to achieve the length of a string?
2. Can you change a string into an integer and/or vice versa. (example: entering '123' as a string and turning it into the number 123.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Shane
1. Is there a length function in Dev Pascal ? If so, what is it? If not, is there a way to achieve the length of a string?
Dev Pascal uses either the Free Pascal compiler or the GNU Pascal compiler.
Online documentation for FPC System unit:
length: Length returns the length of the string S , which is limited to 255 for shortstrings. If the strings S is empty, 0 is returned. Note: The length of the string S is stored in S[0] for shortstrings only. The Length fuction should always be used on ansistrings and widestrings.
2. Can you change a string into an integer and/or vice versa. (example: entering '123' as a string and turning it into the number 123.)
StrToInt( S : String ): StrToInt will convert the string S to an integer. If the string contains invalid characters or has an invalid format, then an EConvertError is raised.
