UShort(value)
UShort:UInt16(value)

Returns: The UShort.

Description

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

Converts a number or a text to a UShort, a 16-bit integer from 0 to 65535. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals only know Int and Float. A whole number that is too large or below 0 keeps its lowest 16 bits (UShort(-1) is 65535), a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) and stops at 0 or 65535 if it is outside. Use SatUShort to stop whole numbers at the limits as well.

Differences

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