Message:

any ordinal Type would do

Posted by senthoor on February 20, 2002 at 8:12 AM

Rather saying it has to be a integer its better to say a ordinal type variable will have to come in the place of "here".

A ordial type is when you know the previous and next values. If you tka einteger 5 the previous is 4 and next is 6. Char A means previous is Z and next is B.

float this is not possible .....

There fore more appropreate would be to say that a ordianl type should come in the case...
