John W. Campbell

2.5.3.1 Introduction

This is a simple class to store an integer. It may be used, for example, to return an integer value from a method when such a data item is required in addition to the main return data from the method. This object has methods to set, clear and test individual bits within the 32 bit integer. The integer value is accessible as the public field 'value'.
