Primtive data types
The primitive data types supported by T are as follows:
- Type: Indicates the name for the type
- Width: How many bits it takes up
- Intended interpretation: How it should be interpreted
| Type | Width | Intended interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| byte | 8 | signed byte (two’s complement) |
| ubyte | 8 | unsigned byte |
| short | 16 | signed short (two’s complement) |
| ushort | 16 | unsigned short |
| int | 32 | signed int (two’s complement) |
| uint | 32 | unsigned int |
| long | 64 | signed long (two’s complement) |
| ulong | 64 | unsigned long |

- Promotion?
- Precedence in interpretation when the first two don’t apply
