CARDUTIL.DEF

DEFINITION MODULE CardUtils;
(*==========================================================
    Version  : 1.0  Sat, Mar 4, 1989  C. Lins
    Compiler : JPI TopSpeed Modula-2
    Component: Primitive Utility - Cardinal Utilities

    Introduction
    This module provides a collection of utilities for the
    Modula-2 numeric types CARDINAL and LONGCARD.

    Interface Design Issues
    * Most of these routines are selectors since the operations they represent
      are commonly used within expressions.
    * In the MacMETH and JPI compilers CARDINAL and LONGCARD are assignment compatible.
    * The elements of the arrays are assumed to be unordered.

    Exceptions
    * Underflow
    * Overflow

    Revision History
