FreeBASIC

UInteger
 
Standard data type: 32-bit or 64-bit unsigned, same size as SizeOf(Any Ptr)

Syntax

Dim variable As UInteger
Dim variable As UInteger<bits>

Parameters

bits
A numeric constant expression indicating the size in bits of unsigned integer desired. The values allowed are 8, 16, 32 or 64.

Description

32-bit or 64-bit unsigned whole-number data type, depending on the platform.

If an explicit bit size is given, a data type is provided that can hold values from 0 up to (1ULL Shl (bits)) - 1.

Example

#if __FB_64BIT__
    Dim x As UInteger = 0
    Dim y As UInteger = &HFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    Print "UInteger Range = "; x; " to "; y
#else
    Dim x As UInteger = 0
    Dim y As UInteger = &HFFFFFFFF
    Print "UInteger Range = "; x; " to "; y
#endif
