Simple types represent types that cannot be divided into more basic elements and are the model for representing 

elementary data on machine level. Basic memory unit in mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 has 16 bits.

Here is an overview of simple types in mikroBasic PRO for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24:

You can assign signed to unsigned or vice versa only using the explicit conversion. Refer to Types Conversions for 

more information.

The derived types are also known as structured types. They are used as elements in creating more complex user-

defined types.

The derived types include:

 

- arrays 

 

- pointers 

 

- structures

An array represents an indexed collection of elements of the same type (called the base type). Since each element has 

a unique index, arrays, unlike sets, can meaningfully contain the same value more than once.

Array Declaration

Array types are denoted by constructions in the following form:

Each of the elements of an array is numbered from 

0

 through 

 - 1

. 

Every element of an array is of 

 and can be accessed by specifying array name followed by element’s index within 

brackets.
