CInt96 Class

CInt96 is a wrapper class for the DECIMAL data type. Holds signed 128-bit (16-byte) values representing 96-bit (12-byte) integer numbers. It supports up to 29 significant digits and can represent values in excess of 7.9228 x 10^28. The largest possible value is +/-79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335.

Constructors

Creates a new instance of the CInt96 class and assigns the values passed to it.

CONSTRUCTOR CInt96
CONSTRUCTOR CInt96 (BYREF cSrc AS CInt96)
CONSTRUCTOR CInt96 (BYREF decSrc AS DECIMAL)
CONSTRUCTOR CInt96 (BYVAL nInteger AS LONGINT)
CONSTRUCTOR CInt96 (BYVAL nUInteger AS ULONGINT)
CONSTRUCTOR CInt96 (BYREF wszSrc AS WSTRING)

Usage example

DIM int96 AS CInt96 = 1234567890

Remarks

Because the bigger numeric variable natively supported by Free Basic is a long/ulong integer, if we want to set bigger values we need to use strings, e.g.

DIM int96 AS CInt96 = "79228162514264337593543950335"

Methods

Error Handling

The class uses the API function SetLastError to set error information. After calling a method of the class, you can check its success or failure calling the API function GetLastError. To get a localized description of the error, you can call a function such AfxGetWinErrMsg, passing the error code returned by GetLastError:

PRIVATE FUNCTION AfxGetWinErrMsg (BYVAL dwError AS DWORD) AS DWSTRING
   DIM cbLen AS DWORD, pBuffer AS WSTRING PTR, dwsMsg AS DWSTRING
   cbLen = FormatMessageW(FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER OR _
           FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM OR FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS, _
           NULL, dwError, BYVAL MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT), _
           cast(LPWSTR, @pBuffer), 0, NULL)
   IF cbLen THEN
      dwsMsg = *pBuffer
      LocalFree pBuffer
   END IF
   RETURN dwsMsg
END FUNCTION

---

Operator LET (=)

Assigns a value to a CInt96 variable.

OPERATOR LET (BYREF cSrc AS CInt96)
OPERATOR LET (BYREF decSrc AS DECIMAL)
OPERATOR LET (BYVAL n AS LONGINT)
OPERATOR LET (BYVAL u AS ULONGINT)
OPERATOR LET (BYREF s AS WSTRING)

Because the bigger numeric variable natively supported by Free Basic is a long/ulong integer, if we want to set bigger values we need to use strings.

Usage examples

DIM int96 AS CInt96
int96 = "123456789001234567890"

---

CAST Operators

Converts a CInt16 into another data type.

OPERATOR CAST () AS DOUBLE
OPERATOR CAST () AS CURRENCY
OPERATOR CAST () AS VARIANT
OPERATOR CAST () AS STRING

Remarks

These operators aren't called directly, they perform the conversion when the target is not a CInt96 variable.

---

Operator *

Returns the address of the underlying DECIMAL structure.

OPERATOR * (BYREF int96 AS CInt96) AS DECIMAL PTR

---

Comparison operators

OPERATOR = (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN
OPERATOR <> (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN
OPERATOR < (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN
OPERATOR > (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN
OPERATOR <= (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN
OPERATOR >= (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS BOOLEAN

---

Arithmetic operators

OPERATOR + (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS CInt96
OPERATOR += (BYREF int96 AS CInt96)
OPERATOR - (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS CInt96
OPERATOR -= (BYREF int96 AS CInt96)
OPERATOR * (BYREF int961 AS CInt96, BYREF int962 AS CInt96) AS CInt96
OPERATOR *= (BYREF int96 AS CInt96)
OPERATOR / (BYREF int96 AS CInt96, BYVAL cOperand AS CInt96) AS CInt96
OPERATOR /= (BYREF cOperand AS CInt96)

Examples

DIM int96 AS CInt96 = 1234567890
int96 = int96 + 111
int96 = int96 - 111
int96 = int96 * 2
int96 = int96 / 2
int96 += 123
int96 -= 123
int96 *= 2
int96 /= 2

Remarks

The version OPERATOR - (BYREF int96 AS CInt96) AS CInt96 changes the sign of a decimal number.

DIM int96 AS CInt96 = 123
int96 = -int96
