APPENDIXC
User-Language Program Reference
A lthough the user-language program (ULP) language is C-like, it is not exactly C. For
example, the equivalent to the C “float” type is called “real” and there is no “boolean”
type. This appendix gives a summary of the ULP language, in particular where it differs from the C
syntax.
You will find information on using ULPs in Chapter 10. You will also find the built-in help files
of EAGLE (accessible from the Help menu) useful.
Data Types
The following primitive types are defined.
Strings
The “string” data type is more like a Java “string” class than a C character array. You can
concatenate strings using the + operator and also use a number of built-in functions to manipulate
strings.
