Datatypes

To make our code more portable, we should use type specifiers as defined in datatype.h (see Table 13.1). The prefixes should go to the beginning of each instance/variable defined, such as in

     U16 u16_number;

Table 13.1: Conventions used for data types and prefixes.

Specifier	Description	Prefix
void	void	v
U8	unsigned char (1 byte)	u8
I8	signed char (1 byte)	i8
U16	unsigned int (2 bytes)	u16
I16	signed int (2 bytes)	i16
U32	unsigned int (4 bytes)	u32
I32	signed int (4 bytes)	i32
U64	unsigned int (8 bytes)	u64
I64	signed int (8 bytes)	i64
int	int (2-4 bytes)	i
F32	float (4 bytes)	f32
F64	float (8 bytes)	f64
