Types

What is translated > Types

There are built-in types in Delphi and also new types can be defined in sections of a source file which begin with the type keyword.

The most simple form of a type definition is just to define another name for an existing type. E.g.:

WCHAR = WideChar;

In C++ the typedef keyword has to be used and the definition then goes the other way round:

typedef System::WideChar WCHAR;

Other types that can be defined in Delphi are:

Records, Classes and Interfaces

Arrays

Enumerated types

Ranges

Sets

Sometimes the order of type definitions has to be rearranged in C++. Also the order of lookup is different.
