Base Types Interface

The type specific operations provided by base types cover the reading and writing of values.

You can perform the following operations on base types:

• read its value (using the cast operator)
• set the value by calling setValue(Type) or by changing the value of the reference returned by cast operators.

Example:

IntegerR tInteger;       //create a new integer
tInteger.setValue(123);  //set the value 123 to this integer.
tInteger = 321;
int IntValue = tInteger; //read the value (call the cast to int operator)

This example creates a special reference class to an integer. When the reference life time ends, the value is set as free and becomes available for further use.
