// It seems we got a little carried away making everything "const u8"!
|
||
//
|
||
// "const" values cannot change.
|
||
// "u" types are "unsigned" and cannot store negative values.
|
||
// "8" means the type is 8 bits in size.
|
||
//
|
||
// Example: foo cannot change (it is CONSTant)
|
||
// bar can change (it is VARiable):
|
||
//
|
||
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
||
// var bar: u8 = 20;
|
||
//
|
||
// Example: foo cannot be negative and can hold 0 to 255
|
||
// bar CAN be negative and can hold −128 to 127
|
||
//
|
||
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
||
// const bar: i8 = -20;
|
||
//
|
||
// Example: foo can hold 8 bits (0 to 255)
|
||
// bar can hold 16 bits (0 to 65,535)
|
||
//
|
||
// const foo: u8 = 20;
|
||
// const bar: u16 = 2000;
|
||
//
|
||
// You can do just about any combination of these that you can think of:
|
||
//
|
||
// u32 can hold 0 to 4,294,967,295
|
||
// i64 can hold −9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
|
||
//
|
||
// Please fix this program so that the types can hold the desired values
|
||
// and the errors go away!
|
||
//

// about this for now!) with the values to be printed.
