Basic Operations and Types

The data types REAL and INT as well as operations between them are defined by including any PROFIL/BIAS header file. The definition of these data types is contained in the files Configuration.h and BIAS/Portab.h. The logical data type BOOL is defined by including the file Boolean.h. Currently, the following equivalences hold:

REAL = double
INT  = int
BOOL = INT

Two logcial constants are available which are defined by including any PROFIL/BIAS header file.

Constant: BOOL TRUE

The logcial value true. The value of this constant is currently 1.

Constant: BOOL FALSE

The logcial value false. The value of this constant is currently 0.
