256 Bit Integer commented uint256.cpp from Bitcoin Core source code

Since there’a lot of variation between platforms, stdint.h standardizes integer type names in an intuitive way. A uint8_t is an 8-bit unsigned integer and a uint64_t is a 64 bit unsigned integer. What you won’t […]

I find that exploring source code is much easier if you actually watch the program run for a while. So, the first thing a developer has […]
