Wendy,
I looked into CodeLists.txt. I noticed some issues and suggest the
changes below.
Achim
Integer
I think this is not correct (it is a signed integer):
"Integers may be either signed (allowing negative values) or unsigned
(nonnegative values only)."
Suggestion:
A whole number in the range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. If the
sign is omitted, "+" is assumed.
Long
I think this is not correct (it is a signed integer):
"An integer of up to 32 bits in size corresponding to an unsigned range
of 0 to 4,294,967,295 or a signed range of -2,147,483,648 to
+2,147,483,647".
Suggestion:
A whole number in the range of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
9,223,372,036,854,775,807. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed.
Short
I think this is not correct (it is a signed integer):
"An integer of up to 16 bits in size corresponding to an unsigned range
of 0 to 65,535 or a signed range of -32,768 to +32,767"
Suggestion:
A whole number in the range of -32,768 to 32,767. If the sign is
omitted, "+" is assumed.
Float
This is an standardized representation of a real number.
Suggested addition:
An IEEE single-precision 32-bit floating point type.
Double
This is an standardized representation of a real number.
This is not correct:
"Float of up to 32 bits."
Suggestion:
Real numbers that may be stored in scientific notation (example:
20.0005, 99.9, -5000.12, 6.02e23). An IEEE single-precision 64-bit
floating point type.
