Signed and unsigned intergers

when a date type is considered signed and unsigned is that simple referring to - for signed and positive numbers for unsigned? Further if that is the case would mutiplying and dividing ect where 2 signed numbers, like (-2)*(-2) = 4 result in a unsigned.

NAME
stdint - integer types SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This header file defines sets of integer types having specified widths and corresponding sets of macros. It also defines macros that spec- ify limits of integer types corresponding to types defined in other standard headers. Since not all implementations are required to support all of the integer sizes defined in this manual page, the proper way to see if a par- ticular size of an integer is supported on the current implementation is to test the symbol that defines its maximum value. For example, if tests false, then that implementation does not support 64-bit unsigned signed integers. This header file defines the following integer data types for 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits. largest signed integer data type supported by implementation 8-bit signed integer 16-bit signed integer 32-bit signed integer 64-bit signed integer largest unsigned integer data type supported by implementation 8-bit unsigned integer 16-bit unsigned integer 32-bit unsigned integer 64-bit unsigned integer The following two data types are signed and unsigned integer data types that are large enough to hold a pointer. A pointer can be moved to or from these data types without corruption. signed integer type that is large enough to hold a pointer unsigned integer type that is large enough to hold a pointer This header file defines the following integer data types for determining the most efficient data types to use for integer values on a par- ticular implementation. most efficient signed integer data type supported by implementation most efficient signed integer of at least 8 bits most efficient signed integer of at least 16 bits most efficient signed integer of at least 32 bits most efficient signed integer of at least 64 bits most efficient unsigned integer data type supported by implementation most efficient unsigned integer of at least 8 bits most efficient unsigned integer of at least 16 bits most efficient unsigned integer of at least 32 bits most efficient unsigned integer of at least 64 bits This header file defines the following integer data types for compatibility with systems that do not fit the 16-bit or 32-bit word size model. These data types define the signed and unsigned integers of at least 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits. smallest signed integer of at least 8 bits smallest signed integer of at least 16 bits smallest signed integer of at least 32 bits smallest signed integer of at least 64 bits smallest unsigned integer of at least 8 bits smallest unsigned integer of at least 16 bits smallest unsigned integer of at least 32 bits smallest unsigned integer of at least 64 bits The following macros define the minimum and maximum values that can be stored in the above data types. minimum value that can be stored in the largest integer data type maximum value that can be stored in the largest signed integer data type maximum value that can be stored in the largest unsigned integer data type minimum value that can be stored in the most efficient integer data type maximum value that can be stored in the most efficient signed integer data type maximum value that can be stored in the most efficient unsigned integer data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type" minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type" minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type minimum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type maximum value that can be stored in an data type The following macros specify the maximum and minimum limits of integer types corresponding to types defined in other standard headers. All these values are implementation defined. minimum value that can be stored in data type maximum value that can be stored in data type minimum value that can be stored in data type maximum value that can be stored in data type maximum value that can be stored in data type minimum value that can be stored in data type maximum value that can be stored in data type minimum value that can be stored in data type maximum value that can be stored in data type The following macros expand to integer constant expressions suitable for initializing objects that have integer types corresponding to types defined in header. Macros For Minimum-Width Integer Constant Expressions The macro expands to an integer constant expression corresponding to the type The macro expands to an integer constant expression corresponding to the type For example, if is a name for the type then might expand to the integer constant Macros For Greatest-Width Integer Constant Expressions The following macro expands to an integer constant expression having the value specified by its argument and the type The following macro expands to an integer constant expression having the value specified by its argument and the type FILES
