What is the difference between the int and uint types in the Go language?

In the Go language, the types int and uint differ in that int is a signed integer, while uint is an unsigned integer.

• int can store both positive and negative values.
• uint only stores non-negative values (0 and positive).

The size of these types depends on the architecture (usually 32 or 64 bits). For example, on a 64-bit system, int and uint occupy 64 bits.

Example:

var a int = -10
var b uint = 10
// var c uint = -5 // compilation error: negative value for uint
