• Can be used in 32 or 64 bit computers.
• Signed numerical values can range from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807.
• _UNSIGNED _INTEGER64 values range from 0 to 18446744073709551615 on 64 bit computers.
• Variable type suffix is && or ~&& for _UNSIGNED. Suffix can also be placed after a literal or hexadecimal numerical value.
