Sep 16, 2010 · You should not use uint and ulong in your public interface if you wish to be CLS-Compliant. Read the documentation for more information: int; uint; long; ulong; By the way, there is also short and ushort and byte and sbyte.

Apr 15, 2011 · uint is not a standard. Hence using your own shorthand like this is discouraged: typedef unsigned int uint; If you look for platform specificity instead (e.g. you need to specify the number of bits your int occupy), including stdint.h: #include <stdint.h> will expose the following standard categories of integers: Integer types having certain ...

Nov 11, 2020 · Because uint doesn't allow for negative numbers, it has a range of 0 to 4,294,967,295, compared to the range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 for an int If you have a scenario where you cannot have negative integers or it doesn't make sense to have a negative value, then unsigned integers can be a good choice.

Feb 21, 2010 · uint32 is an unsigned integer with 32 bit which means that you can represent 2^32 numbers (0-4294967295). ...

The initializer converts this value from int to unsigned int. The rules for signed-to-unsigned conversion say that the value is reduced modulo UINT_MAX + 1, so -1 will convert to UINT_MAX (which is probably 0xffffffff or 4294967295 if unsigned int is 32 bits). You simply cannot assign a negative value to an object of an unsigned type. Any such ...

Feb 16, 2013 · uint32_t (or however pre-C++11 compilers call it) is guaranteed to be a 32-bit unsigned integer; unsigned int is whatever unsigned integer the compiler likes best to call unsigned int, as far as it meets the requirements of the standard (which demands for it a 0-65535 minimum range).

Jun 23, 2010 · I prefer uint to int unless a negative number is actually in the range of acceptable values. In particular, accepting an int param but throwing an ArgumentException if the number is less than zero is just silly--use a uint! I agree that uint is underused, and I encourage everyone else to use it more.

1) uint = unsigned int, in fact uint is just a typedef for unsigned int (will be replaced by unsigned int on compile time). 2) If you want to add to your code some "security" go with uint, you'll avoid for sure negative values.

Jul 15, 2009 · uint asUint = unchecked((uint)myInt); int asInt = unchecked((int)myUint); The destination type will blindly pick the 32 bits and reinterpret them. Conversely if you're more interested in keeping the decimal/numerical values within the range of the destination type itself: uint asUint = checked((uint)myInt); int asInt = checked((int)myUint);

Jul 26, 2020 · uint is used throughout the standard library of Go, in packages like image most probably for the reasons I've mentioned. And the type-safety that comes with using uint is one of the most idiomatic things that Go recommends. It's …
