C + + 中的无符号关键字

无符号关键字是否默认为 C + + 中的特定数据类型?我正在尝试为原型的一个类编写一个函数:

unsigned Rotate(unsigned object, int count)

但是我真的不明白 unsigned是什么意思。它不应该像 unsigned int或什么的吗?

You can read about the keyword unsigned in the C++ Reference.

There are two different types in this matter, signed and un-signed. The default for integers is signed which means that they can have negative values.

On a 32-bit system an integer is 32 Bit which means it can contain a value of ~4 billion.

And when it is signed, this means you need to split it, leaving -2 billion to +2 billion.

When it is unsigned however the value cannot contain any negative numbers, so for integers this would mean 0 to +4 billion.

There is a bit more informationa bout this on Wikipedia.

Does the unsigned keyword default to a data type in C++

Yes,signed and unsigned may also be used as standalone type specifiers

The integer data types char, short, long and int can be either signed or unsigned depending on the range of numbers needed to be represented. Signed types can represent both positive and negative values, whereas unsigned types can only represent positive values (and zero).

An unsigned integer containing n bits can have a value between 0 and 2n - 1 (which is 2n different values).

However,signed and unsigned may also be used as standalone type specifiers, meaning the same as signed int and unsigned int respectively. The following two declarations are equivalent:

unsigned NextYear;
unsigned int NextYear;

From the link above:

Several of these types can be modified using the keywords signed, unsigned, short, and long. When one of these type modifiers is used by itself, a data type of int is assumed

This means that you can assume the author is using ints.

Integer Types:

short            -> signed short
signed short
unsigned short
int              -> signed int
signed int
unsigned int
signed           -> signed int
unsigned         -> unsigned int
long             -> signed long
signed long
unsigned long

Be careful of char:

char  (is signed or unsigned depending on the implmentation)
signed char
unsigned char

Yes, it means unsigned int. It used to be that if you didn't specify a data type in C there were many places where it just assumed int. This was try, for example, of function return types.

This wart has mostly been eradicated, but you are encountering its last vestiges here. IMHO, the code should be fixed to say unsigned int to avoid just the sort of confusion you are experiencing.
