As you might imagine, an unsigned integer is either positive or zero. Given our discussion in the previous sections about binary numbers, it might seem that there is little more to say about unsigned integers.

Signedness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, signedness is a property of variables representing numbers in computer programs. A numeric variable is signed if it can represent both positive and negative numbers, and unsigned i...

Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, the term integer is used to refer to a data type which represents some finite subset of the mathematical integers. These are also known as integral data types <sup class="nopr...

At times, it is necessary to coerce an unsigned integer from one type to another, resulting in a change in the number of bits used to represent the number. When an unsigned integer is coerced from a larger length to a smaller length, high order (leftmost) bits are discarded.

Unsigned integers can be of all sizes, int, long, and short. The range of unsigned integers is through , where k is the number of bits, so for 16 bits the maximum unsigned integer is 65535. Unsigned integer constants are written using the suffix, u or U:

The following sections examine specific operations that are susceptible to unsigned integer wrap. When operating on small integer types (smaller than int), integer promotions are applied.

As a basic background for those of us who spend most of their time in T-SQL; an unsigned integer does not hold negative values. The value range is from 0 to the maximum of the datatype.

Re: Java unsigned integer type for memory addresses ... > So - how do I best represent a 64bit unsigned integer value in Java? As 64 bit singed longs. You only get into some trouble if you start to do some arithmetic with them.
