sub function Highest(number as longint) as byte

Returns the highest byte of 

number

, bits 24..31.

Function returns the highest byte of 

number

. Function does not interpret bit pat-

terns of 

number

– it merely returns 8 bits as found in register.

This is an “inline” routine; code is generated in the place of the call, so the call
doesn’t count against the nested call limit.

Arguments must be variable of scalar type (i.e. Arithmetic Types and Pointers).

d = 0x1AC30F4

tmp = Highest(d)  ' Equals 0x01

sub procedure Inc(dim byref par as longint)

Nothing.

Increases parameter 

par

by 1.

Nothing.

p = 4

Inc(p)  ' p is now 5

sub procedure Dec(dim byref par as longint)

Nothing.

Decreases parameter 

par

by 1.

Nothing.

p = 4
Dec(p)  ' p is now 3
