  2. Signedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signedness

    For Integers, the unsigned modifier defines the type to be unsigned. The default integer signedness outside bit-fields is signed, but can be set explicitly with signed modifier. By contrast, the C standard declares signed char, unsigned char, and char, to be three distinct types, but specifies that all three must have the same size and alignment.

    Additionally, POSIX includes ssize_t, which is a signed integer type of the same width as size_t. ptrdiff_t is a signed integer type used to represent the difference between pointers. It is guaranteed to be valid only against pointers of the same type; subtraction of pointers consisting of different types is implementation-defined.

  4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    In the offset binary representation, also called excess-K or biased, a signed number is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the unsigned number plus K, with K being the biasing value or offset. Thus 0 is represented by K, and −K is represented by an all-zero bit pattern.

    Two's complement arithmetic is convenient because there is a perfect one-to-one correspondence between representations and values (in particular, no separate +0 and −0), and because addition, subtraction and multiplication do not need to distinguish between signed and unsigned types.

  6. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    All C integer types have signed and unsigned variants. If signed or unsigned is not specified explicitly, in most circumstances, signed is assumed. However, for historic reasons, plain char is a type distinct from both signed char and unsigned char. It may be a signed type or an unsigned type, depending on the compiler and the character set (C ...

  7. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    Also available are the types usize and isize which are unsigned and signed integers that are the same bit width as a reference with the usize type being used for indices into arrays and indexable collection types. [22] Rust also has: bool for the Boolean type. [22] f32 and f64 for 32 and 64-bit floating point numbers. [22] char for a unicode ...

  8. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  9. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    The standard type hierarchy of Python 3. In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types.
