    // Add an int to a Nybble.

    a += 5;

    Console.WriteLine("a after a += 5: " + (int) a);

    Console.WriteLine();

    // Use a Nybble in an int expression.

    t = a * 2 + 3;

    Console.WriteLine("Result of a * 2 + 3: " + t);

    Console.WriteLine();

    // Illustrate int assignment and overflow.

    a = 19;

    Console.WriteLine("Result of a = 19: " + (int) a);

    Console.WriteLine();

    // Use a Nybble to control a loop.

    Console.WriteLine("Control a for loop with a Nybble.");

    for(a = 0; a < 10; a++)

      Console.Write((int) a + " ");

    Console.WriteLine();

  }

}

The output from the program is shown here:

a: 1

b: 10

a is less than b

c after c = a + b: 11

a after a += 5: 6

Result of a * 2 + 3: 15

Result of a = 19: 3

Control a for loop with a Nybble.

Although most of the operation of 

Nybble

 should be easy to understand, there is one 

important point to make: The conversion operators play a large role in the integration of 

Nybble

 into the C# type system. Because conversions are defined from
