MLPutRealNumberAsUTF16String (C Function)

MLPutRealNumberAsUTF16String has been replaced by WSPutRealNumberAsUTF16String.

int MLPutRealNumberAsUTF16String(MLINK l, const unsigned short *s, int n)

sends a floating-point number encoded as UTF-16 string s of length n to the MathLink connection specified by l.

Details

  • Send the number s in the form "3.14159".
  • The number s encoded in UTF-16 must begin with a byte order mark.
  • The length of the string n must include the byte order mark.
  • MLPutRealNumberAsUTF16String() returns 0 on error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • MLPutRealNumberAsUTF16String() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
