Integer16 Operator (FPScript)

23.08.2021

Converts an expression into the 16-bit integer data type.

Syntax

Integer16 Expression

The syntax of the Integer16 operator consists of the following elements:

Element

Description

Expression

Any expression. All data types are permitted.

Remarks

The operator can process scalar values or entire data series and data matrices. If Expression is a data series or a data matrix, then the type conversion takes place on a per-element basis and the result is once again a data series or a data matrix. If a signal, a signal series or a space curve is converted, only the Y component is examined. The result then contains the unchanged X component and possibly the Z component of Expression. If Expression is a list, then the operation is executed for each item in the list and the result is also a list.

In the conversion, the fractional digits in floating point values are truncated. The Boolean value TRUE results in the value 1s, and FALSE results in the value 0s. The operator can be applied to all real and complex data types as well as to calendar times, time spans and strings. The absolute value is formed for complex data types. Strings are interpreted as a value or quantity first and then converted like numerical data. Here the decimal and list separators specified in FlexPro Options are used. The Empty type and a void floating point value result in 0s.

If Expression is a quantity, then it has to have the SI dimension 1 and it will be transformed to the unit 1 before conversion.

Examples

Integer16 50000.

Returns -15536, since an overflow has occurred.

Integer16 (DataSeries + 0.5)

Rounds to zero places after the decimal point.

Integer16 1 N

Returns an error, since the Newton unit does not have the SI dimension 1.

Integer16 2 Pi

Returns 6, since the unit Pi has the SI dimension 1 and 2 Pi transformed to the unit 1 results in the value 6.2831853.
