int

The int keyword names the signed 32-bit integer type.

Syntax

Use int in variable declarations:

var count int
var limit int = 10

Use int in function parameter and return annotations:

func square(value int) int {
    return value * value
}

When a variable definition has an initial value, Matchbox can infer int:

var count = 10

Function parameter and return annotations can also be omitted; they default to int in 0.2.

See Types for the int range and type rules.
