## 9.158 MedWord

### Synopsis

    type
      MedWord = MedCard;

### Description

``MedWord'` is an unsigned integer type which is not smaller than ``Word'`. On most platforms it actually is the same as ``Word'` and 32 bits wide and thus has a range of ``0..4294967295'`. It is the same as section 9.155 MedCard.

``MedWord'` in GNU Pascal is compatible to ``long unsigned int'` in GNU C. This compatibility is the reason why ``MedWord'` exists.

There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see section 8.2.3 Integer Types.

### Conforming to

``MedWord'` is a GNU Pascal extension.

### Example

    program MedWordDemo;
    var
      a: MedWord;
    begin
      a := 42;
      WriteLn (a)
    end.
