unsigned-byte Type

Supertypes:

unsigned-byte, signed-byte, integer, rational, real, number, t

Description:

The atomic type specifier unsigned-byte denotes the same type as is denoted by the type specifier (integer 0 *).

Compound Type Specifier Kind:

Abbreviating.

Compound Type Specifier Syntax:

(unsigned-byte [s | *])

Compound Type Specifier Arguments:

s—a positive integer .

Compound Type Specifier Description:

This denotes the set of non-negative integers that can be represented in a byte of size s (bits). This is equivalent to (mod m) for m = 2^s, or to (integer 0 n) for n = 2^s −1. The type unsigned-byte or the type (unsigned-byte *) is the same as the type (integer 0 *), the set of non-negative integers.

Notes:

The type (unsigned-byte 1) is also called bit.

mod Type Specifier

Compound Type Specifier Kind:

Abbreviating.

Compound Type Specifier Syntax:

(mod n)

Compound Type Specifier Arguments:

n—a positive integer .

Compound Type Specifier Description:

This denotes the set of non-negative integers less than n. This is equivalent to (integer 0 (n)) or to (integer 0 m), where m = n − 1.

The argument is required, and cannot be *.

The symbol mod is not valid as a type specifier .
