ULong(value)
ULong:UInt64(value)

Returns: The ULong.

Description

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

Converts a number or a text to a ULong, a 64-bit integer from 0 to 18446744073709551615. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals only know Int and Float. A whole number below 0 keeps its lowest 64 bits (ULong(-1) is 18446744073709551615), a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) and stops at 0 or the largest number if it is outside. Use SatULong to stop whole numbers below 0 at 0 as well. A ULong is compared, divided and shifted right without a sign, and Abs and Sgn see it as never negative.

Differences

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