I am using:
ETH PlugIn Oberon for WindowsTM / Win32 2.5 (18.12.2010)
on Windows Vista Version 6.2.9200
According to NW (Programming in Oberon,Steps beyond Pascal and Modula)
the size of LONGINT is +/- 2147483647
However, when I run
==================================================
MODULE powerof2;
IMPORT Out;
PROCEDURE power*;
VAR i : INTEGER; value : LONGINT;
BEGIN
i := 0; value := 1;
WHILE i < 32 DO
Out.Ln(); Out.Int(i,5); Out.Int(value,20);
INC(i); value := 2 * value;
END;
END power;
BEGIN
END powerof2.power
===================================================
I get
===================================================
