nint

Struct · built-in type

struct nint : IComparable<nint>, IEquatable<nint>, IHashable

A signed integer of the size of a pointer (64 or 32 bits, like C’s intptr_t).

Arithmetic is checked: an overflow, a division by zero or a conversion that loses the value ends the program with a panic, unless the code is unchecked (then it wraps around). See the language guide (basics).

Methods

Name	Description
ToString	The number as decimal text: 42.ToString() is "42".
Equals	Whether the numbers are equal (also a == b).
CompareTo	Compares the numbers: -1, 0 or 1.
GetHashCode	A hash code of the number, for Dictionary keys.
