unsigned integers, bytes

[Stéphane Onder de Linden]

hello there.

i'm sorry, but i didn't understand how to ask this question in the forum.

i did not find any comment on unsigned bytes/shorts/integers and i was
wondering if they were part of the nice specification. otherwise, are
there good reasons for leaving them out, because i would really miss them.

thanks

Hi,

i did not find any comment on unsigned bytes/shorts/integers and i was
wondering if they were part of the nice specification. otherwise, are
there good reasons for leaving them out, because i would really miss them.

The Java virtual machine only includes signed numbers, so the simplest solution was to do the same in Nice. This said, most operations are the same whether the numbers are signed or not. It would be possible to add unsigned numbers, and to overload the few operations that differ (comparison, display to string). Let me know if you are interested to work on that and need help with it.

Daniel
