UShort Statement

Declares variables of UShort type. (unsigned 2-byte integer variable).

Syntax
UShort varName [(subscripts)] [, varName [(subscripts)]...]

Parameters

varName

Specify the variable name which the user wants to declare.

Maximum element number of the array variable

Optional. Dimensions of an array variable; up to 3 dimensions may be declared. The subscripts syntax is as follows Optional.
(ubound1, [ubound2], [ubound3])
ubound1, ubound2, ubound3 each specify the maximum upper bound for the associated dimension. The elements in each dimension of an array are numbered from 0 and the available number of array elements is the upper bound value + 1. When specifying the upper bound value, make sure the number of total elements is within the range shown below:

• Local variable: 2,000
• Global Preserve variable: 4,000
• Global variable and module variable: 100,000

Description
UShort is used to declare variables as integer type. Integer variables can contain values from 0 to 65535. Local variables should be declared at the top of a function. Global and module variables must be declared outside functions.

UShort Statement Example
The following example shows a simple program that declares some variables as integer type using UShort.

Function ushorttest
    UShort A(10)         'Single dimension array of UShort type
    UShort B(10, 10)     'Two dimension array of UShort type
    UShort C(5, 5, 5)    'Three dimension array of UShort type
    UShort var1, arrayvar(10)
    Integer i
    Print "Please enter an Integer Number"
    Input var1
    Print "The Integer variable var1 = ", var1
    For i = 1 To 5
        Print "Please enter an Integer Number"
        Input arrayvar(i)
        Print "Value Entered was ", arrayvar(i)
    Next i
Fend
