11... APPENDIX A: MASTER ICON REFERENCE
The advantage of using Long Integer format is that this format will generally utilize a fewer number of memory bytes for data storage. The number of bytes will dynamically size, from 1 to 4 bytes, according to the magnitude of the Output.
The disadvantage of Long Integer format is that numerical precision will be lost if incoming data is in floating point format. Precison will be lost in the conversion to integer format (eg 26.3 becomes 26). If large numbers are processed, this loss of precision may be negligible (eg 36785.2 becomes 36785).
