hBasic Manual

These functions now accept a string as well as a number.

INT   (nexp | sexp)        % convert to real + dismiss fractional part
INT$ (nexp | sexp)        % convert to string + truncate fractional part

e.g

s$ = "99.12"
PRINT INT(s$)       % 99.0
PRINT INT$(s$)      % 99

DEVICE$ ( <key_sexp> )

Gets device information without needing permissions.
This function is an alternative to the legacy DEVICE sub-commands

Pass a key_sexp to get information about the key.
e.g

a$ = DEVICE$("locale")    % will return e.g "en_US"

The allowed keys are;

Key	example	comment
"LANGUAGE"	"English"	Language
"LOCALE"	"en_US"	Locale
"OS"	"4.0.3"	Android version
"BATT_PERCENT"	"73"	battery level as percentage left.
"BATT_STATUS"	"Discharging"	"Charging", "Not Charging", "Discharging", "Full","Unknown"
"ORIENT_SIMPLE"	"Portrait"	"Portrait", "Lansdscape"

All keys are case-insensitive.

Notes: Returned value is a string. You may have to use IS_NUMBER and VAL to parse it for a number.
(This function is similar /but not the same/ as the legacy DEVICE and  sub commands).
Some items are not part of the legacy DEVICE command and will not show up in it's bundles or strings.

ORIENT_SIMPLE

This command returns a version string.
e.g


The current version of hBasic e.g 04.30 is equal to the master version with almost ALL patches applied.

The master version e.g 02.14 is the code base version used to build hBasic. This is the master shipped with hSuite. If you apply all patches within hSuite amd compile, you have the equivalent of the current version.

Both version numbers are user-definable within the hSuite compiler. If you don't use hSuite, your app maker will have to change the versions itself.

WORD_ALL$ (source_sexp, nth_nexp {, separator_sexp})

Fix for ROUND function for precise input values

The math function ROUND (<value_nexp>{, <count_nexp>{, <mode_sexp>}})

Uses java BigDecimal for rounding BUT the input values were still binary64 leading to precision errors.

Fix was to use BigDecimal(String) instead of BigDecimal(double).
