LONG variable

[XSILVERX]

I dont really understand how i could use this in anything could someone help me?

you know i've been creating databases and reports for over 6 years now and i've never used it nor felt the need to abandon the int or double.

long is integer, very similar to int, but can hold much larger values (int is 32 bit, long is 64 bit). In most cases can be used instead of int, but it is really rarely needed. In C++ it would be __int64.

it is handy when you use performance timeing or real-time code delays...
eg: when you use:

Code:

long lTime
lTime = GetTickCount

[Gintaras]

GetTickCount returns int value.
perf returns long value.
