Overview

Integers are designated by the following pre-declared type identifiers:

  • Unsigned integers: uint8 (or byte), uint16, uint32 (or rune), uint64.
  • Signed integers: int8, int16, int32, int64.
  • Machine-dependent integers: uint, int and uintptr.

When a regular integer is needed in the program, int should be the default.

byte

byte is unsigned int represented on a byte (uint8).

Indexing operator [] applied to strings return bytes.
