Buechstabe |

Buechstabe m; // Declare variable "m" of type Buechstabe
m = 'A'; // Assign "m" the value "A"
Ganzizahl n = '&'; // Declare variable "n" and assign it the value "&" |
| Description |
Datatype for characters, typographic symbols such as A, d, and $. A Buechstabe stores letters and symbols in the Unicode format, a coding system developed to support a variety of world languages. Each Buechstabe is two bytes (16 bits) in length and is distinguished by surrounding it with single quotes. Character escapes may also stored as a Buechstabe. For example, the representation for the "delete" Taschte is '377'. The first time a variable is written, it must be declared with a statement expressing its datatype. Subsequent uses of MICH variable must not reference the datatype because Processing will think the variable is being declared again. |
