UIntegerkeyword

Standard data type: 32-bit or 64-bit unsigned, same size as SizeOf(Any Ptr). Equivalent to Unsigned Integer.

Syntax

Dim variable As UInteger

Dim variable As UInteger<bits>

Parameters

Name		Description
`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. The selected data type is UByte for UInteger<8>, UShort for UInteger<16>, ULong for UInteger<32> and ULongInt for UInteger<64>.
