CUShort

Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned integer (UShort)

Syntax
   Declare Function CUShort ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As UShort

   Type typename
      Declare Operator Cast ( ) As UShort
   End Type

Usage
   result = CUShort( numeric expression )
   result = CUShort( string expression )
   result = CUShort( user defined type )

Parameters
   expression
      a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a UShort value
   datatype
      any numeric, string, or pointer data type
   typename
      a user defined type

Return Value
   A UShort value.

Description
   The CUShort function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 16-bit 
   UShort value.  The function does not check for an overflow, and results 
   are undefined for values which are less than 0 or larger than 65 535.

   The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned Short'.

   If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by 
   using ValUInt.

Example
   ' Using the CUSHORT function to convert a numeric value

   'Create an USHORT variable
   Dim numeric_value As UShort

   'Convert a numeric value
   numeric_value = CUShort(36000.4)

   'Print the result, should return 36000
   Print numeric_value
   Sleep
