STANDARD LIBRARY:  Lang

The Lang Library contains fifteen functions. You can use these various functions to perform operations on integer and floating-point numbers, create random numbers, create absolute values, stop the current code execution, and determine support parameters.
 
The optional Float Library contains eight functions that perform related tasks on floating-point numbers.
 
The library and function names are case sensitive.
 
The fifteen functions are:
 
abort
Aborts the current code and returns control to the caller.
 
Syntax: Lang.abort(errorDescription)
 
abs
Returns the absolute value.
 
Syntax: Lang.abs(value)
 
characterSet
Returns the character set being supported.
 
Syntax: Lang.characterSet( )
 
exit
Ends the current code and returns control to the caller.
 
Syntax: Lang.exit(value)
 
float
Determines if floating-point numeration is supported.
 
Syntax: Lang.float( )
 
isFloat
Determines if a value can be converted to a floating-point.
 
Syntax: Lang.isFloat(value)
 
isInt
Determines if a value can be converted to an integer.
 
Syntax: Lang.isInt(value)
 
max
Returns the maximum of two numbers.
 
Syntax: Lang.max(value1, value2)
 
maxInt
Returns the maximum recognized integer value.
 
Syntax: Lang.maxInt( )
 
min
Returns the minimum of two numbers.
 
Syntax: Lang.min(value1, value2)
 
minInt
Returns the minimum recognized integer value.
 
Syntax: Lang.minInt( )
 
parseFloat
Converts a string into a floating-point number.
 
Syntax: Lang.parseFloat(value)
 
parseInt
