| <p>The standard type UnlimitedNatural is used to encode the non-negative values of a multiplicity specification. | |
| This includes a special | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>unlimited</em></span> value (*) that encodes the upper value of a multiplicity specification. | |
| UnlimitedNatural is itself an instance of the metatype UnlimitedNaturalType. | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Note that UnlimitedNatural is not a subclass of Integer.</p> | |

| <code class="code">max(i : OclSelf[?]) : UnlimitedNatural[1]</code> | |

| <p>The maximum of | |

| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| <code class="code">min(i : OclSelf[?]) : UnlimitedNatural[1]</code> | |

| <code class="code">oclAsType(TT)(type : TT[?]) : TT[?] invalidating</code> | |

| <p>Evaluates to | |
| <code class="code">self</code>, where | |
| <code class="code">self</code> is of the type identified by T. | |
| The type T may be any classifier defined in the UML model; | |
| if the actual type of | |
| <code class="code">self</code> at evaluation time does not conform to T, | |
| then the oclAsType operation evaluates to | |
| <code class="code">invalid</code>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p>The standard behavior is redefined for UnlimitedNatural. Numeric values may be converted to | |
| Real or Integer, but the | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>unlimited</em></span> value may not. | |
| Conversion of | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>unlimited</em></span> to Real or Integer returns | |
| <code class="code">invalid</code>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| <code class="code">toInteger() : Integer[1] invalidating</code> | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Converts | |
| <code class="code">self</code> to an Integer value unless | |
| <code class="code">self</code> is | |
| <code class="code">unlimited</code> in which | |
| <code class="code">self</code> is converted to | |
| <code class="code">invalid</code>. | |
