String types
| Type
| Description
|
| Char
| Stores a single Ansi character
|
| String
| Holds a sequence of Ansi characters of any length
|
| WideChar
| Stores a single Unicode character
|
| WideString
| Holds a sequence of Unicode characters of any length
|
Note: Unicode article highlights the difference between Unicode and Ansi.
Pointer types
| Type
| Description
|
| PChar
| Pointer to a Char value, and can also be used to point to characters within a string
|
Other types
| Type
| Description
|
| Boolean
| Provides an enumeration of the logical True and False values
|
| Array
| Single and multi dimensional indexable sequences of data
|
| Record
| Provides means of collecting together a set of different data types into one named structure
|
| Variant
| Provides a flexible general purpose data type
|
Enumerations and Sets
For example, the Boolean data type is itself an enumeration, with two possible values: True and False. If you try to assign a different value to a Boolean variable, the code will not compile.
| Example
| Description
|
type
TDay = (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun);
var
Day: TDay;
begin
Day := Mon;
if Day <> Tue then
Day := Wed;
end.
| An enumeration is simply a fixed range of named values
|
type
TDay = (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun);
TDays = set of TDay;
var
Days: TDays;
begin
Days := [Mon, Tue, Wed];
if Sun in Days then
Days := Days - [Sun];
end.
| Whereas enumerations allow a variable to have one, and only one, value from a fixed number of values, sets allow you to have any combination of the given values
|
Custom types
Several types are custom defined to simplify the usage of some functions.
| Type
| Declared as
| Description
|
| TDateTime
| Double
| Holds date and time
|
| TStringsArray
| Array of WideString
| Holds an indexable sequence of WideString
|
