documentation (length)

Post by fred »

I'm new at newLISP so i give it a try :)
In Users Manual and Reference v.9.9.8 i did read the description of the length function:

length applied to a symbol returns the length of the symbol name.
Applied to a number, length returns the number of bytes needed in
memory to store that number: 4 for integers and 8 for floating point
numbers.

Shoud it not be 8 for 64 bit integers?

Fred.

Hi Fred!

The move to 64 bit integers was release 9.0.0 (1 year ago) - perhaps that number should have been updated then.
