If, instead, we longed to create a function which allowed us to add real numbers, we would be required to change the code accordingly: —
|
||||||
|
|

\lstinputlisting{code-snippets/plus-function-real.b}
|
||||||
|
|

Herein, we altered the data types our function is able to receive from \texttt{int} to \texttt{real}, changed the data type it will return to \texttt{real} and changed the formatting within the \texttt{print} statement to the value reference code \texttt{"\%f"} instead; this, I believe, stands for \textit{floating point number}. Furthermore, we are required to convert all integers — in this example, 4 — to a real number by adding a \textit{.0} behind it. The reason behind this is that henceforth, our function may only accept real numbers; and even though integers are technically part of the real numbers, we must nonetheless supply our function with a number containing a fraction — even if said fraction is zero.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Withal, it would be possible to convert an integer into a real number by simply adding \texttt{real} in front of it; we could thus revise the \texttt{print} statement thusly: —
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
||||||
|
sys->print("%f", add(2.2, real 4));
|
||||||
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to the aforementioned data types, there exists another one titled \texttt{big}, which is, essentially, a regular integer which can hold larger numbers; its value reference code is \texttt{\%bd} which can be remebered as meaning \textit{big digit}.
