~
&H character
string~
32767
1) If placed at the beginning of a hexadecimal
, it will be converted to a decimal
integer value . Although &H is shown as
l
function since it functions opposite
to HEX$ , strictly speaking, it is not a function but is actually a hexadecimal
identifier .
2) Since the conversion result will be a decimal integer with the range of -32768
to +32767, &HFFFF, for example, will not indicate 65535 but - 1.
3) The 0 placed at the top of a hexadecimal and spaces in a hexadecimal charac-
ter string are disregarded.
<Example>
&HOOl 0 indicates 16 of a decimal number.
&HA
u
B indicates
171 of a decimal number.
&H
u
A indicates 10 of a decimal number.
( u
means a space.)
4) An error (Error 2) will occur if a hexadecimal character string exceeds four
digits or if there is a character other than a hexadecimal in the character
string.
<Example>
&H 10000 -+Error 2 (Five digits)
&HAG
&HA#
-+Error 2 (G is not a hexadecimal)
-+Error 2 (#is not a hexadecimal)
