GETBITS syntax
I wonder why GETBITS(#255d) it's ok but GETBITS(255) not (error: invalid input).
It could be interpreted "as default" as decimal...
Or not?

Hi!, salvomic:

Syntax: GETBITS(#integer) Returns the number, of bits, used by integer, expressed, in the default base.
Example: GETBITS(#22122) returns #20h or 32.

Kind Regards.

RE: GETBITS syntax
thank you, I know it...
I mean: "why is the # mandatory?"

Hi Salvo,

The syntax for this requires the integer base in order to determine the encoding. It uses the default base if not specified, but in any event, that means you would need to use the integer syntax (#number, o, d, h).
