// It seems we got a little carried away making everything "const u8"!
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// "const" values cannot change.
|
|
|
// "u" types are "unsigned" and cannot store negative values.
|
|
|
// "8" means the type is 8 bits in size.
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// Example: foo cannot change (it is CONSTant)
|
|
|
// bar can change (it is VARiable):
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
|
|
// var bar: u8 = 20;
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// Example: foo cannot be negative and can hold 0 to 255
|
|
|
// bar CAN be negative and can hold −128 to 127
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
|
|
// const bar: i8 = -20;
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// Example: foo can hold 8 bits (0 to 255)
|
|
|
// bar can hold 16 bits (0 to 65,535)
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
|
|
// const bar: u16 = 2000;
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// You can do just about any combination of these that you can think of:
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// u32 can hold 0 to 4,294,967,295
|
|
|
// i64 can hold −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
// Please fix this program so that the types can hold the desired values
|
|
|
// and the errors go away!
