🚧 Data Types Overhaul in The Works

Planned for the next version of BAM and currently in the development version of BAM:

BYTE and UBYTE

• Changing the "BYTE" data type from unsigned byte values to signed byte values (range -128 to 127)
• Adding the "UBYTE" data type for unsigned byte values (range 0 to 255)

INTEGER, SHORT and USHORT

• Adding the "USHORT" data type for unsigned short integer values (range 0 to 65,535)
• The "SHORT" data type (aka "INTEGER" for compatibility with GW-BASIC) for signed short integer values (range -32,768 to 32,767) already existed and remains unchanged

LONG and ULONG

• Adding the "ULONG" data type for unsigned long integer values (range 0 to 4,294,967,295)
• The "LONG" data type for signed long integer values (range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) already existed and remains unchanged
