Unsigned integers in Java

[Zaheer Ahmed]

Hi All!

How can I declare the usigned primitive integers in Java???

I tried the following code:
<code>
public class TestUnsigned {
public static void main(String[] args) {
unsigned int a = 10;
System.out.println(a);
}
}
</code>

But the above code does not compile. It gives "Not a statement" error.

I remember doing something like this... I am not sure whether it was Java or C++. I know that Java is not C++ (Bert) and actually repeated that a couple of times but I am confused here...

Java doesn't have unsigned ints. If a plain int can't hold a large enough value, and you want to keep the code simple, you can use a long.

That I was guessing... Thanks Ernest for clarifying it up...
