UInt(value)
UInt:UInt32(value)

Returns: The UInt.

Description

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

Converts a number or a text to a UInt, a 32-bit integer from 0 to 4294967295. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals only know Int and Float. A whole number below 0 or above the limit keeps its lowest 32 bits (UInt(-1) is 4294967295), a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) and stops at 0 or 4294967295 if it is outside. Use SatUInt to stop whole numbers at the limits as well. Int converts back, which makes 4294967295 a -1 again.

Differences

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