UInt16? UInt32? What is this?
Hy all! I'd like to know what mean UInt16 and UInt32. I looked at Palm Docs, but can't find nothing that explain me these things are. Thanks! -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

RE: UInt16? UInt32? What is this?
UInt16 is a 16-bit unsigned integer, I don't know off the top of my head, but it's probably typedefed somthing like: typedef unsigned short int UInt16; Similarly, UInt32 is an unsigned 32-bit integer somthing like: typedef unsigned long int UInt32; They're just shorter ways of writing unsigned . Also, it means that you can change their definitions easily on systems where (for example) short is not 16-bits long and somthing else is. -Original Message- From: Rigis Daniel de Oliveira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 July 2002 13:00 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: UInt16?

heyo . UInt16 is a unsigned integer with size two bytes and the range is: 0...65535 UInt32 is a unsigned integer with size four bytes and the range is: 0...4294967295 saludos... >From: "Régis Daniel de Oliveira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: UInt16?

"Short short." Now that's what I call short. But why stop there?
struct {
unsigned reallyReallyShort : 0.5;
};

hmmm... fractional bitfields...
don't say it too loud... you never know where ANSI C committee members
are wandering...

Actually, I think that "fractional bitfields" are used in arithmetic
compression. It's a bit like Huffman in that common characters are
encoded with shorter bit sequences and infrequent characters are
encoded with longer bit sequences, but takes advantage of the fact
that, for optimal encoding, some characters need to be encoded with a
"bit sequence" that is conceptually between two integral bit
sequences.

Yes, I was joking of course. Perhaps the "fractionality" of bit lengths of single characters in arithmetic coding comes from the fact that you are no longer dealing with single character entities actually, but with sequences of characters, depending on their mutual frequencies. So, thinking in terms of characters could be somewhat misleading: maybe "symbols" could be a better choice. Just a guess though, I don't know anything about compression.
