Function Copy (Const S: String; Index: Byte; Count: Byte): String;
|
Copy returns a string which is a copy if the Count characters in S, starting at position Index. If Count is larger than the length of the string S, the result is truncated. If Index is larger than the length of the string S, then an empty string is returned. Function Copy needs XDATA memory.
Function Cos (X: Real): Real;
|

Function Exp (Var X: Real): Real;
|
Exp returns the exponent of X, i.e. the number e to the power X.
Function Frac (X: Real): Real;

Function Hi (X: Word): Byte;
Function Hi (X: Pointer): Byte;
|

Function High (TOrdinalType): TOrdinalTypeElement;
Function High (X: TOrdinalType): TOrdinalTypeElement;
Function High (X: TArray): TArrayIndex;
Function High (X: TOpenArray): Integer;
|
The return value of High depends on it's argument: 1. If the argument is an ordinal type, High returns the highest value in the range of the given ordinal type. 2. If the argument is an array type or an array type variable then High returns the highest possible value of it's index. 3. If the argument is an open array identifier in a function or procedure, then High returns the highest index of the array, as if the array has a zero-based index. The return type is always the same type as the type of the argument (or type of index in arrays).
Function Int (X: Real): Real;
|
Int returns the integer part of a floating point number in X. The result is Real, i.e. a floating point number.
Function Length (S: String): Byte;
|
Length returns the length of the string S. If the strings S is empty, 0 is returned. Note: The length of the string S is stored in S [0].
Function Ln (X: Real): Real;
|
Ln returns the natural logarithm of the Real parameter X. X must be positive.
Function Lo (X: Word): Byte;
Function Lo (X: Pointer): Byte;
|
Lo returns the low byte of word or pointer in X.
Function Low (TOrdinalType): TOrdinalTypeElement;
Function Low (X: TOrdinalType): TOrdinalTypeElement;
Function Low (X: TArray): TArrayIndex;
Function Low (X: TOpenArray): Integer;
|
The return value of Low depends on it's argument: 1. If the argument is an ordinal type, Low returns the lowest value in the range of the given ordinal type. 2. If the argument is an array type or an array type variable then Low returns the lowest possible value of it's index. 3. If the argument is an open array identifier in a function or procedure, then Low returns the lowest index of the array which is 0. The return type is always the same type as the type of the argument (or type of index in arrays).
MaxAvail returns the size in bytes of the biggest free memory block in the heap.
MemAvail returns the size in bytes of all free memory in the heap.
Function New (PType);
Function New (PObjectType; Constructor);
|
New returns address of allocated memory for a new instance of the type PType. If PType is a pointer to a object type, then it is possible to specify the name of the constructor with which the instance will be created.
Function Odd (X: Longint): Boolean;
|
Odd returns True if X is odd, or False otherwise.
Function Ofs (TRecord.Field): Longint;
|
Ofs returns offset of Field in record type TRecord.
Function Ord (X: TOrdinalType): Longint;
|
Ord returns the ordinal value of a ordinal-type variable X.
Pi returns the value of Pi (3.1415926535897932385).
Function Pos (Const Substr, Str: String): Byte;
|
Pos returns the index of Substr in Str, if Str contains Substr. In case Substr isn't found, 0 is returned. The search is case-sensitive.
Function Pred (X: TOrdinalType): TOrdinalType;
|
Pred returns the element that precedes the element that was passed to it.
Function Random (L: Longint): Longint;
Function Random: Real;
|
Random returns a random number larger or equal to 0 and strictly less than L. If the argument L is omitted, a Real number between 0 and 1 is returned. (0 included, 1 excluded).
