Integer Types

Fuzion knows signed and unsigned integer types in different sizes: u8, u16, u32, u64, u128 for unsigned values, i8, i16, i32, i64, i128 for signed values. Furthermore, int and uint can represent signed and unsigned integers of arbitrary size.

32-bit integers

Here is a small example calculating fibonacci numbers using 32-bit integers:

Due to the range limitations of type u32, this produces an error for n > 45.

64-bit integers

The possible range of values can be doubled using 64-bit integers:

Here, this produces an error for n > 91.

128-bit integers

NYI: 128-bit integers are not supported yet.

large integers

NYI: Large integers are not supported yet.

integer as generic type

The abstract type integer can be used to build a generic function that works with integers of arbitrary sizes. The compiler will specialize this code for the actual type that it is used with:
