unsigned long
unsigned long
Description
Unsigned long variables are extended size variables for number storage, and store 32 bits (4 bytes). Unlike standard longs unsigned longs won’t store negative numbers, making their range from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2^32 – 1).
Example
unsigned long time; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { Serial.print("Time: "); time = millis(); //prints time since program started Serial.println(time); // wait a second so as not to send massive amounts of data delay(1000); }
Syntax
unsigned long var = val;
- var – your long variable name
- val – the value you assign to that variable
