### Comp

#### Synopsis

         type
           Comp = LongInt;

#### Description

`Comp` is a signed integer type which is longer than `Integer`. On some platforms it is 64 bits wide and thus has a range of `-9223372036854775808 .. 9223372036854775807`.

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

#### Conforming to

`Comp` is a Borland Pascal extension.

In some contexts, Borland Pascal treats `Comp` as a “real” type – this behaviour is not supported by GPC.

#### Example

         program CompDemo;
         var
           a: Comp;
         begin
           a := 42;
           WriteLn (a)
         end.
