Warning on comparing a SmallInt with result of Ord function

Question

I\'m comparing a SmallInt variable with the result of the Ord function. Example:

var
  MySmallInt : SmallInt;
begin
  MySmallInt :=         


        

Answer 1

Ord() is an intrinsic function that yields an unsigned type. Hence the warning. In your case, you are passing it a WideChar, and so the matching integral type is Word.
