UInt Data Type
Holds unsigned integer values guarenteed to be at least 32 bits (4 bytes) and provides the best performance. On 32-bit architectures, values are in the range 0–4,294,967,295
Instructions
UInt is short for "unsigned integer".
- Default value
- When you declare a variable of type UInt and leave it uninitialized,, its value defaults to zero (0).
- Negation
- Because UInt is an unsigned type, when you use the unary minus (-) operator on an expression of this type, the value is first converted to a Int64 or Int128, depending on the system's architecture, then negated.
- Widening
- The UInt data type widens to UInt64, UInt128, Real32, Real64, Real, or Real128 without any risk of overflow.
- Type characters
- UInt has no type characters.
Shared methods and properties
UInt.Bits As UInt- Returns the number of available bits. Typical values are 32 or 64.
UInt.Max As UInt- Returns the maximum value.
UInt.Min As UInt- Returns the minimum value. This is always zero (0).
Examples
Dim foo As UInt
