Now that is a mystery to me. The documentation for UInt
does not mention uint. But UInt and uint act exactly
the same and have exactly the same properties.
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about: "Documentation is easier
to understand if you read what it says, and not what you expect it to say."
Documentation does not say UInt and uint act exactly the same and
have exactly the same properties.
That's your expectation.
Ignore your expectations. Read what the documentation says, not what
you expect it to say.
It'll make more sense.

Hi Eirik,
I can't find anything in the documentation other than native types for
uint. Do you have a link? I would love one
of those flow charts where it shows what is a member of.
"Expectation"? You mean experience. And they act exactly
they way I expect them too. UInt and uint act *exactly*
alike when I use them.
And, no one is telling me percisely what the difference
between UInt and uint is other than one is a subset of
Int and the other is a native type. They act exactly
the same. Tell where I am wrong?
