SatLong(value)
SatLong:Int64(value)

Returns: The number, or the closest number of the type if it does not fit.

Description

〔BlitzLLVM〕 This command does not exist in the original Blitz products. BlitzLLVM adds it.

Converts a number or a text to a Long (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807) and stops at -9223372036854775808 and 9223372036854775807 instead of wrapping around. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals have no integers of other sizes. A whole number outside the range becomes the closest number of the range, and a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) first. A real that is not a number becomes 0. Long does the same for a real, but wraps whole numbers around.

Differences

• Not in the originals, which have no integers of other sizes.
