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.

int should be the default.

byte

byte is unsigned int represented on a byte (uint8). Indexing operator [] applied on strings return bytes.
