9. What's an unsigned integer?    coderanch.com

Hi Mr. Junta, you overthrown any goverments lately? Well, hopefully you wil find my answer better than my humour: An unsigned int, or an unsigned whatever (byte,char), means that the value has no sign to show whether the value is positive or negative. As you may have seen, an int is defined to be within the range -32,000 to + 32,000 ...

hey everyone, i know this seems a bit sad, but i need to get these all straight. my assignment states that my class must handle 'signed binary integer numbers...' in C++, we only worked with 'int x', or 'double y' and didn't really touched 'signed', 'unsigned' and 'long'. does signed and unsigned refer to positive and negative numbers? if so, do ...

12. unsigned int    coderanch.com

Ok, I think I got it, but in your previous reply you said Therefore, in an arithmetic operation, a char acts as a positive int Well it was a somewhat ambiguous statement. After the conversion (adding two zero MS bytes), it starts as a positive int, but it does not "act" as a positive int. The arithmetic operation can result in ...

14. unsigned integer    coderanch.com

No, Java ints are 4 bytes, each byte is 8 bits, so you get 4294967296 different values (if my math is right). The article has it right on how to handle unsigned primitives - you have to use the larger datatype to hold it. So you would store your unsigned int in a long. The article details how to read/right the ...

15. why does core java doesnt have unsigned int??    coderanch.com

You are obviously taking the bits of the signed number -5, which in 32 bits is 2^32 - 5. Since C isn't a type-safe language, it will take the same bit pattern as that and covert it to positive or negative numbers depending on whether you use the %u or %i flags to display it.#include #include void printSigned(int*); void ...
