# Standard library header <cstdint>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header was originally in the C standard library as `<stdint.h>`.

This header is part of the type support library, providing fixed width integer types.

### [edit] Types

`int8_t` `int16_t` `int32_t` `int64_t` | signed integer type with width of exactly 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively with no padding bits and using 2's complement for negative values (provided only if the implementation directly supports the type)
`int_fast8_t` `int_fast16_t` `int_fast32_t` `int_fast64_t` | fastest signed integer type with width of at least 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively
`int_least8_t` `int_least16_t` `int_least32_t` `int_least64_t` | smallest signed integer type with width of at least 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively
`intmax_t` | maximum width integer type
`intptr_t` | integer type capable of holding a pointer
`uint8_t` `uint16_t` `uint32_t` `uint64_t` | unsigned integer type with width of exactly 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively (provided only if the implementation directly supports the type)
`uint_fast8_t` `uint_fast16_t` `uint_fast32_t` `uint_fast64_t` | fastest unsigned integer type with width of at least 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively
`uint_least8_t` `uint_least16_t` `uint_least32_t` `uint_least64_t` | smallest unsigned integer type with width of at least 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits respectively
`uintmax_t` | maximum width unsigned integer type
`uintptr_t` | unsigned integer type capable of holding a pointer
