Unsigned Integers
Unsigned Integers represent a whole number which is greater than or equal to zero. For numbers with decimal places, you should use a Float.
You can tell a Datatype represents an unsigned integer if its name has the u prefix.
The number afterward tells you how many bits the Datatype costs to send over the network.
