Unsigned Integers

What is Unsigned Integers?

Unsigned integers in Kotlin are data types that represent whole numbers that cannot be negative. Unlike regular integers (like Int), unsigned integers (like UInt) only store positive values and zero. This allows them to represent a larger range of positive numbers compared to their signed counterparts, given the same amount of memory. Kotlin provides specific unsigned integer types such as UInt, ULong, UShort, and UByte to handle scenarios where negative values are not needed, potentially improving performance and clarity.
