Integer types

Gofra has fixed-size signed integer types. All integer types are primitive: they have a known size in bytes and a known alignment, both equal to the size.

No unsigned types

There are no unsigned integer types (u8, u16, u32, u64). All integer types are signed.

Size and alignment

Type	Size	Alignment	Range
i8	1 byte	1	−128 .. 127
i16	2 bytes	2	−32 768 .. 32 767
i32	4 bytes	4	−2 147 483 648 .. 2 147 483 647
i64	8 bytes	8	−2^63 .. 2^63 − 1

int alias

int is a language-level alias for i64. It is the canonical integer type used throughout the standard library and in examples.

var x int   // same as `var x i64`, 8 bytes
var y i64   // explicit 64-bit
var z i32   // 32-bit
var w i8    // 8-bit

int is not architecture dependant

int is always 64-bit on every target. It does not depend on the pointer width or on the target architecture.

Arithmetic

Integer types support the arithmetic operators +, -, *, /, %.
