integer field

The approach is to keep an array of records, where each record has integer fields indicating the index of the next (and possibly previous) node in the array.

The C record contains root-mean squared error (RMSE) quality control data, using ten six-character integer fields.

The main file header is fixed at 100 bytes in length and contains 17 fields; nine 4-byte (32-bit signed integer or int32) integer fields followed by eight 8-byte (double) signed floating point fields:

In Algol 68, if was an array of records, each with integer fields and , one could write to obtain an array of integers, consisting of the fields of all the elements of .

The file format, which is binary, uses 32-bit little endian format for all integer fields, and 32-bit binary IEEE 754 format for all floating point fields (also little endian).

Other languages may be more flexible in this regard, and require only that each value field can be legally assigned to the corresponding variable field; so that, for example, a short integer field can be assigned to a long integer field, or vice-versa.

For example, if the pointer initially points to a structure with an integer field, but in the new object a pointer field is allocated to the place of the integer, then the pointer field could be changed to anything by changing the value of the integer field (via dereferencing the dangling pointer).
