    Unsigned numbers are always positive, and can be twice as large as signed numbers. Signed numbers can be positive or negative

    Ex:
    16-bit ints

    Signed:
    -32768 to 32767
    Unsigned:
    0 to 65535

    No, you don't get it yet. It has to do with the range of numbers that a data type can represent! You don't get it yet! LOL.
