gnd

The uint operation converts a single input value to Gendo’s default unsigned-integer type, matching Go’s built-in uint (64-bit on modern 64-bit builds, 32-bit on older 32-bit builds). Use it when you need a whole number that must never be negative but do not care about an exact bit-width such as uint16 or uint64.

Accepted operand forms

• Integer literal - decimal (123) or hexadecimal (0x7B).
• Numeric value - already stored in a variable.
• String literal - must encode a valid decimal or hexadecimal integer.
• Floating-point value - only if its fractional part is exactly zero.

Range check

Target build	Minimum	Maximum
64-bit	0	18 446 744 073 709 551 615
32-bit	0	4 294 967 295

If the operand is negative, exceeds the active range, cannot be parsed as an integer, or is a float with a fractional part, uint raises an error. The operation never mutates its input; it returns a new value of type uint.

Syntax

[ $destination ] uint value

• $destination is optional; if omitted, the converted value is assigned to _.

• Exactly one operand must follow uint. Writing uint with no operand is shorthand for uint _.

Examples

Convert a decimal literal:

$count uint  65535           # $count holds uint value 65535

Convert a hexadecimal string:

$hex   let "0xFFFFFFFF"
$big   uint $hex             # on 32-bit builds: overflow error

Convert the current _ in place:

let  1024
uint                         # same as uint _

Error on negative input:

uint -5                      # error: negative value not allowed

Reject a fractional float:

uint 3.14                    # error: fractional part not allowed

uint always yields one machine-sized unsigned integer, never rebinds existing variables, and observes Gendo’s single-assignment rule.
