SmartPascal Inc Procedure Increment an ordinal variable System unit

1  procedure Inc ( var Variable : Ordinal variable ) ; 2  procedure Inc ( var Variable : Ordinal variable; Count : Integer ) ;

Description The Inc procedure increments the ordinal Variable parameter passed to it.   You can increment :   Characters  Non-floating number types  Enumeration types  Pointers    The increment is by the base size of the unit. For example, incrementing a Pointer will be by 4 bytes if the pointer points to Words.   Version 1 of Inc increments by 1 unit.   Version 2 of Inc increments by Count units. Notes Inc is equivalent in performance to simple addition, or the Succ procedure. Count can be negative.
