Como: otimizar o armazenamento de inteiros positivos com tipos sem-sinal (Visual Basic)

  • Artigo

If you have a variable that contains only positive values (or 0), and these values never exceed 4,294,967,295, you can declare the variable as UInteger instead of Long.

The advantage of using UInteger is that the 32-bit integer types Integer and UInteger are the most efficient data types on 32-bit platforms, and they provide optimum performance for your application.

You can use an Integer variable if your positive values never exceed 2,147,483,647.

To declare an integer with only positive values

  • Declare the variable As UInteger. The following example illustrates this.

    Public Function memoryRequired(ByVal m As UInteger) As UInteger
    Static r As UInteger = 0
    Try
        r += m
    Catch eo As System.OverflowException
        r = 0
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox("Incrementing required memory causes """ & ex.Message & """")
    End Try
    Return r
End Function

    You can test the function memoryRequired with the following code:

    Public Sub consumeMemoryRequired()
    Dim m1 As UInteger = UInteger.MaxValue - 100
    Dim m2 As UInteger = 100
    MsgBox("Max = " & CStr(UInteger.MaxValue) & vbCrLf & 
        CStr(m1) & " -> " & CStr(memoryRequired(m1)) & vbCrLf & 
        "+ " & CStr(m2) & " -> " & CStr(memoryRequired(m2)) 
        & vbCrLf & "+ 1 -> " & CStr(memoryRequired(1)))
End Sub

    Aviso

    The UInteger data type is not part of the CLS (Common Language Specification) (CLS), so CLS-compliant code cannot consume a component that uses it.
