Description

Defint specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type Integer if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.

Examples

#lang "fblite"

DefInt i
Dim iNumber

end GeSHi
