GCB 2's complement subtraction

[jeff]

Variable Type "INTEGER" try 1-4
Dim bb as integer
bb=1-4
Print Str(bb)
END
This prints 65533
How can I get a Print of -3. I thought that the Integer type would recognize a MSB of 1 and report -3

[William Roth]

This code works as expected and returns -3

 #chip 18f27Q43, 16
 #CONFIG MCLRE=ON, LVP = ON
 #option Explicit

 #startup InitPPS, 85
 #define PPSToolPart 18f47q43

 #Define USART_BAUD_RATE 19200
 #DEFINE USART_TX_BLOCKING
  Wait 500 ms

Dim Testvar as integer
     TestVar = (1-4)
HSerprint "TestVar = "
HSerprint TestVar

End
Sub InitPPS
    'Module: UART1
     RC6PPS = 0x0020    'TX1 > RC6
End Sub

Perhaps you should not be using "STR" with Print

Simply use : Print BB

[mmotte]

Try:
Print bb

Print is overloaded and will print the type you send it.

Use Str32()
