I am trying to convert a signed byte in unsigned. The problem is the data I am receiving is unsigned and Java does not support unsigned byte, so when it reads the data it treats it as signed. I tried it to convert it by the following solution I got from Stack Overflow. public static int … Read more
Is there a way to declare an unsigned int in Java? Or the question may be framed as this as well: What is the Java equivalent of unsigned? Just to tell you the context I was looking at Java’s implementation of String.hashcode(). I wanted to test the possibility of collision if the integer were 32 … Read more
Why doesn’t Java include support for unsigned integers? It seems to me to be an odd omission, given that they allow one to write code that is less likely to produce overflows on unexpectedly large input. Furthermore, using unsigned integers can be a form of self-documentation, since they indicate that the value which the unsigned … Read more
I can never understand how to print unsigned long datatype in C. Suppose unsigned_foo is an unsigned long, then I try: printf(“%lu\n”, unsigned_foo) printf(“%du\n”, unsigned_foo) printf(“%ud\n”, unsigned_foo) printf(“%ll\n”, unsigned_foo) printf(“%ld\n”, unsigned_foo) printf(“%dl\n”, unsigned_foo) And all of them print some kind of -123123123 number instead of unsigned long that I have. 7 Answers 7
Am I correct to say the difference between a signed and unsigned integer is: Unsigned can hold a larger positive value and no negative value. Unsigned uses the leading bit as a part of the value, while the signed version uses the left-most-bit to identify if the number is positive or negative. Signed integers can … Read more
What is the correct way of iterating over a vector in C++? Consider these two code fragments, this one works fine: for (unsigned i=0; i < polygon.size(); i++) { sum += polygon[i]; } and this one: for (int i=0; i < polygon.size(); i++) { sum += polygon[i]; } which generates warning: comparison between signed and … Read more
Java does not have a datatype for unsigned integers. You can define a long instead of an int if you need to store large values. You can also use a signed integer as if it were unsigned. The benefit of two’s complement representation is that most operations (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and left shift) are identical on a binary level for … Read more
Currently, I am using signed values, -2^63 to 2^63-1. Now I need the same range (2 * 2^64), but with positive values only. I found the java documentations mentioning unsigned long, which suits this use. I tried to declare 2^64 to a Long wrapper object, but it still loses the data, in other words, it … Read more
