Integer Constants

An integer constant is a whole number with no decimal point. It can have a leading sign and is interpreted as a decimal number.

Integer constants take the following form:

[s]n[n...][ _k]

`s`	Is a sign; required if negative (-), optional if positive (+).
`n`	Is a decimal digit (0 through 9). Any leading zeros are ignored.
`k`	Is the optional kind parameter: 1 for INTEGER(1), 2 for INTEGER(2), 4 for INTEGER(4), or 8 for INTEGER(8). It must be preceded by an underscore ( _ ).

An unsigned constant is assumed to be nonnegative.

Integer constants are interpreted as decimal values (base 10) by default. To specify a constant that is not in base 10, use the following extension syntax:

[s] [[base] #] nnn...

s

Is an optional plus (+) or minus (-) sign.

base

Is any constant from 2 through 36.

If base is omitted but # is specified, the integer is interpreted in base 16. If both base and # are omitted, the integer is interpreted in base 10.

For bases 11 through 36, the letters A through Z represent numbers greater than 9. For example, for base 36, A represents 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, and so on, through Z, which represents 35. The case of the letters is not significant.

The value of nnn cannot be bigger than 2**31-1. The value is extended with zeroes on the left or truncated on the left to make it the correct size. A minus sign for s negates the value.

Note that compiler option integer-size can affect the KIND type parameter of INTEGER data and integer constants.

Examples

Valid Integer (base 10) Constants
0
-127
+32123
47_2

Invalid Integer (base 10) Constants
9999999999999999999	Number too large.
3.14	Decimal point not allowed; this is a valid REAL constant.
32,767	Comma not allowed.
33_3	3 is not a valid kind type for integers.

You can use integer constants to assign values to data. The following table shows assignments to different data and lists the integer and hexadecimal values in the data:

INTEGER(1)X
X = -128                         -128                 Z'80'
X =  127                          127                 Z'7F'
X =  255                           -1                 Z'FF'

INTEGER(2)X
X = 255                           255                 Z'FF'
