Editing Integer BASIC (section)

===Mathematics===
Integer BASIC, as its name implies, uses integers as the basis for its math package. These were stored internally as a 16-bit number, [[Endianness|little-endian]] (as is the 6502). This allowed a maximum value for any calculation between -32767 and 32767; although the format could also store the value -32768, BASIC could not display that number. Calculations that resulted in values outside that range produced a {{code|>32767 ERR}}.{{sfn|Raskin|1978|p=27}}

Infix operators included {{code|+}} (addition), {{code|-}} (subtraction), {{code|*}} (multiplication), {{code|/}} (division), [[Modulo operation|MOD]] (remainder) and exponent using the {{code|^}} character. Binary operators included {{code|AND}}, {{code|OR}} and {{code|NOT}}. Binary comparisons included the standard set of {{code|{{=}}}}, {{code|>}}, {{code|<}}, {{code|>{{=}}}}, {{code|<{{=}}}}, {{code|<>}} and the HP-inspired {{code|#}}, which was equivalent to <>.{{sfn|Raskin|1978|p=61}}

Only single-dimension arrays were allowed, limited in size only by the available memory.{{sfn|Raskin|1978|p=94}} Mathematical functions were sparse; only {{code|ABS}} (absolute value), {{code|SGN}} (sign) and {{code|RND}} (random number) were supported.{{sfn|Raskin|1978|p=40,120}} In contrast to MS-derived versions, where the parameter was ignored and {{code|RND}} always returned a value 0..<1, Integer BASIC used the parameter; {{code|RND(6)}} returned an integer from 0 to 5.{{sfn|Raskin|1978|p=40}}
