CUSHORT
Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned integer (Ushort)
Syntax:
Usage:
result = Cushort( numeric expression )
result = Cushort( string expression )
result = Cushort( user defined type )
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.

Examples:
' 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

Print numeric_value
Sleep
