Integers do not. > >Modular types *are* integer types. Clearly I meant things specified by the identifier *integer* or one of its subtypes, not what the LRM (IMHO confusingly) refers to as integer types (which includes modular types, as well as the type "integer"). Admittedly, the "proper" LRM term for this is "signed integer type", but bringing up strict LRM terminology in a beginner thread is only going to confuse the reader. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
