I was hoping to find on-line manuals that I could print and read on the john. So far no luck. But what I really need is how to declare variables in C.
For example, I have a sample code that has the statement:
unsigned char
and
unsigned long
What do these mean and do they limit the declaration to integers. What do i declare if I want a floating point?
Also, someone told me I cant do floating point with a Keil Compiler because of licensing issues (I got my copy from Silicon Labs and have just registered it). I will eventually need to do trig functions. What do i have to get (buy) to complete my project?
"I think everybody moving from asm to C had such beliefs initially"
and it is interesting to see the same beliefs emerging in people moving from C to C++...
Yes. The conversation usually goes like this:
Have you used C++ on the 8051?
No! It's for PCs. Too slow. Too much overhead.
Have you actually tried it?
