high()

Top  Previous  Next

high( type or variable ) : Ordinal Type;

 

Returns the highest allowed value of either a type or a variable of that type. It would typically be used in conjunction with arrays and, for arrays, it returns the highest index value in that array.

 

Parameters

 

Type or Variable

Ordinal Type

 

type

  TArray = array[0..10] of Integer;

 

  high(TArray) would return 10 since 10 is the highest allowable index in that array type.

 

 

Important!: It is critical that you do not confuse this Pascal high() utility function with the high price of a data series. When customizing a user script, always use Symbol.high() rather than just high(). Not paying attention to this can cause errors that are difficult to debug.
