Hi,

Ho do I convert a larger variable like Integer to an smaller type
without loosing any data?

What I would like to do is:

I have a variable of Integer_32 size, I also know that the value is
always between -180 and 180. I would like to assign that value to a 16
bits Real type.

How can that be done without loosing any data?

regards

/Sebastian
