When writing new features for Nsound, C++ typedefs are used to ensure the same bit width is used on all platforms. To see how these types are defined, look at the file src/Nsound/Nsound.h after running SCons.
If you are using the Python module, you won’t need to know anything about these data types.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| boolean | The C++ bool type |
| int8 | Integer (-128 to 127) |
| int16 | Integer (-32768 to 32767) |
| int32 | Integer (-2147483648 to 2147483647) |
| int64 | Integer (9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807) |
| float32 | Single precision float: sign bit, 8 bits exponent, 23 bits mantissa |
| float64 | Double precision float: sign bit, 11 bits exponent, 52 bits mantissa |
| uint8 | Unsigned integer (0 to 255) |
| uint16 | Unsigned integer (0 to 65535) |
| uint32 | Unsigned integer (0 to 4294967295) |
| uint64 | Unsigned integer (0 to 18446744073709551615) |
